Aston Villa fancied to grab three points against Bolton Wanderers

Aston Villa host Bolton Wanderers on Friday desperately needing a victory to kick-start their season.

Villa head into the game 17th in the standings, seven points adrift of the play-off places.

New manager Dean Smith has failed to spark a revival after replacing Steve Bruce and Villa’s hopes of joining the promotion race are looking increasingly remote with each passing week.

Bolton haven’t won in thier last five outings and Sky Sports‘ pundit David Prutton has tipped the home side to secure a much-needed 1-0 win (6/1 with Sky Bet).
