Aston Villa v Wolves: Who's hot and who's not
VILLA: WHO’S HOT: James Milner – the World Cup certainty’s midweek winner at Wigan took him into double figures for the season and his energy seems to know no bounds.
VILLA: WHO’S NOT: Luke Young now seems to have become Martin O’Neill’s second choice behind makeshift right-back Carlos Cuellar through no fault of his own.
WOLVES: WHO’S HOT: Karl Henry and Matt Jarvis – two unsung heroes positively bursting with melody.
WOLVES: WHO’S NOT: Adlene Guedioura is likely to have his first goal scrubbed off by the dubious goals panel and likely to lose his starting place.
