Barclays Premier League
Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Ground: Villa Park , Birmingham, march 20th 2010
The weekend's action starts on Saturday lunchtime when Aston Villa welcome Midlands rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers. Villa are well within the hunt for the much-coveted final Champions League berth as they sit three points behind Tottenham with a game in hand.
While Martin O'Neill's men are unbeaten in eight league matches, that statistic somewhat masks the matter of just three games won from those outings. Wolves head into the fixture at Villa Pak boosted by their victory at Burnley, a game when finally Mick McCarthy's men found their shooting boots. Wolves have not coped favourably against their foes, with the club failing to beat Villa in their last 15 attempts in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Wolves have everything to fight for in their battle to avoid making an immediate return to the Championship and did their hopes a power of good last weekend with a crucial 2-1 success at relegation rivals Burnley.
Verdict: Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton 2-1
