Is Wolves vs Aston Villa on TV in the UK? How to tune into Premier League clash, kick-off time, team news

Wolves will welcome Aston Villa to Molineux this weekend for their latest Premier League challenge — the West Midlands Derby. Both sides will enter the clash in winning form, with the home side last snatching three points from Manchester City on home soil.

Wolves stunned the reigning champions after a Rúben Dias own goal and a winner from Hwang Hee-chan gave Gary O’Neil’s side just their second victory of the season. They will undoubtedly be in high spirits as they prepare to host Villa on Sunday, who stormed to a 6-1 win over Brighton last time out in the league.

The Villans have also since been in action in the Europa Conference League — they edged a 1-0 win over Zrinjski Mostar on Thursday thanks to a stoppage time goal from John McGinn.

So as derby day looms, here’s everything you need to know ahead of the clash and how you can keep up with the action.

When is Wolves vs Aston Villa?

Wolves will lock horns with Villa on Sunday, October 8th, with kick-off scheduled for 2pm BST.
