How to follow Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Wolves make the short trip to Villa Park for Julen Lopetegui's third Premier League match in charge, with the hope that a win will see his side leave the relegation zone.
Unai Emery's Aston Villa side will provide a stern test however, after they picked up a fantastic 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on New Years Day, his third win in four Premier League matches since taking over.
Wolves arrive on the back of the tough 1-0 loss to Man United on New Year's Eve, despite playing well for large parts of the game.
