Sunday means Fun day. It brings a huge number of mouth-watering football fixtures. Just a couple of hours prior to the Man City vs Liverpool clash, Wolverhampton Wanderers will take on Aston Villa FC at the Molineux Stadium. The game week 12 fixture will start at 3 pm BST (2 pm GMT). The Wolves will come into this fixture following their trip to the English capital. In their latest league outing, they drew league giant Arsenal away from the home. P E Aubameyang’s deadlock breaker was canceled out by Raul Jimenez’s equalizer. Thus they should feel confident before taking on the Villans.
On the other hand, Aston Villa will have this trip to the Molineux following a heartbreaking defeat against Liverpool. Despite doing everything right until the 85th minute of the game, somehow they had to suffer a distasteful defeat against the All Reds. A Robertson and S Mane’s goals in quick succession late in the game, robbed the Lions as it ensured the 3 points for the league leaders. Both sides are in good form and thus one may expect a good game of football.

Match Preview: The Wolves will be playing at the home. In addition to this, they are in pretty good form. They have been consistent since the start of the season. Thus they will feature as the favorites. But they will be haunted by the memory of their defeat against the Villans in the latest head to head in the League Cup. Thus they may eye revenge.
Aston Villa to is in a good run of form. Despite a late defeat against the All Reds, they should be full of confidence prior to this fixture. Thus I’m expecting a competitive game.
My pick is a hard-fought 2-1 victory for the home side.
