Smith 'frustrated and annoyed' by defeat
Will clubs release players for international duty amid quarantine restrictions?
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Feck off Lawro
Villa Park is the only Premier League ground this season at which the team to score first has always won.
Aston Villa have won all five of their home league games when scoring first, and lost all five - as well as two cup ties - after conceding the opening goal
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Aston Villa won the reverse fixture 1-0 in December and are looking to secure their first league double over Wolves since the 2003-04 season.
However, Wolves are vying to earn consecutive away league victories against Villa for the first time since 1960.
Wolves have kept a clean sheet in each of their past three Premier League matches at Villa Park.
Villa have only won one of their six most recent home games in this fixture (D3, L2).
Aston Villa
They have an unrivalled win rate of 75% in Premier League matches played on Saturdays this season. Wolves are yet to win a league fixture in five attempts on a Saturday in 2020-21.
Villa have failed to score more than once in any of their past seven games, only managing five goals in total.
They have lost half of their 12 league matches since beating Crystal Palace on Boxing Day (W4, D2, L6).
Nonetheless, a 13th Premier League victory of the season would be their best return since 2009-10.
All but one of their 12 league wins this season has been earned with a clean sheet, but Villa have lost 10 of the 11 games in which they've conceded.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Their solitary top-flight victory in the past nine away games came at Southampton last month (D3, L5).
Wolves have opened the scoring in just one of their last 17 league matches, a 1-0 win against Leeds last month.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side have recovered 13 points from losing positions, second only to Manchester United's 22.
They have conceded 23 away goals in the Premier League this season, already two more than in the whole of 2019-20.
Ruben Neves is one short of 100 Premier League appearances. He has scored five goals in 10 league games in 2021.
Adama Traore, who made 10 top-flight appearances for Aston Villa in 2015-16, has gone 45 Premier League games without a goal.

i've had the feeling that other players are not looking to pass to him even when he's in a good position.

The next preview thread must be a good one, Gem's clearly taking his time to ensure it's a classic.
Incredible how devoid of confidence and energy Liverpool are now after losing that unbeaten home run, that defeat to Burnley on the back of only drawing with Albion really seems to have burst their bubble. They have been better away though so we shouldn't expect an easy ride, beating West Ham & Spurs 1-3 recently.

similar at dortmund as i remember - top 2 for a few seasons then a slump to low table, then resignation due to" stress and overwork."

The demise of Liverpool is almost unprecedented given how they ran away with the league last season. They’ve certainly had a terrible run of injuries to central defenders that has left them playing midfielders out of position there for most of the season and that has knocked on to weakening the midfield
But the most surprising thing to me is that their front three of Salah, Mane and Firmino have completely lost their form. Maybe Diogo will brighten up their attacking now he is fit but they have failed to score in 6 of the last 7 home games now. Unfortunately the game next week is at Molineux and they’ve been much better away
