Aston Villa

Aston Villa booked their place in the last-16 of the Champions League on Wednesday but now turn their attention to West Midlands rivals Wolves.

The pair are both desperate for points, with the hosts looking to climb out of the relegation places and the visitors keen to keep pace in the race for European football.

It should be a good match under the lights at Molineux, with plenty of bad blood between these teams in the past.

And with no Jhon Duran for Villa following his move to Al-Nassr, can Ollie Watkins keep his head screwed on following a bid from Arsenal?

Read on to see how both teams line-up.

Wolves line-up

Vitor Pereira has deployed his usual three at the back formation.

Jose Sa is in goal, ahead of Matt Doherty, Emmanuel Agbadou and  Toti Gomes.

Nelson Semedo and Rayan Ait Nouri will play as wing-backs.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Andre line the midfield.

While a front three is formed of Pablo Sarabia, Goncalo Guedes and Matheus Cunha.

Aston Villa line-up

With a few defensive injuries, Unai Emery has had to shuffle things around a little.

Emiliano Martinez is in goal, ahead of him is a back four of Andres Garcia, Ezri Konsa, Boubacar Kamara and Lucas Digne.

A midfield pivot of Youri Tielemans and Lamare Bogarde will patrol the middle.

John McGinn, Morgan Rogers and Jacob Ramsey play ahead of them.

And Ollie Watkins leads the line.
