Aston Villa v Wolverhampton Wanderers

Aston Villa head coach Dean Smith says captain Jack Grealish "looks pain-free" but is unlikely to make his comeback from a shin problem on Saturday.

Matty Cash, Kortney Hause and Wesley are nearing a return to fitness, though this match comes too soon for them.

Willy Boly could start for Wolves, having returned from injury as an unused substitute for the midweek defeat at Manchester City.

Daniel Podence, Marcal and Raul Jimenez all remain unavailable.

LAWRO'S PREDICTION

Aston Villa are becoming very difficult to predict. They showed they could cope without Jack Grealish when they beat Leeds last weekend, but they were pretty poor in his absence as they lost to Sheffield United on Wednesday.
