Aston Villa vs Wolves team news: Starting lineups confirmed for West Midlands derby

Unai Emery and Gary O'Neil have named their respective starting lineups and substitutes ahead of this afternoon's Premier League clash between local foes Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Kicking off at the later time of 5.30pm this Saturday, both teams will be keen for a strong return from the international break. Villa can regain at least a three-point advantage to Champions League qualification rivals Tottenham Hotspur with a win, while Wolves can boost their claims for a surprise Europa Conference League finish.

Villa have made two changes from the 1-1 draw at West Ham United, with Diego Carlos and Moussa Diaby coming in for Clement Lenglet and Jhon Duran. Wolves, meanwhile, make just one the one switch as O'Neil names youngster Leon Chiwome up top and several youth players on the bench.
