That's all from me, Bruna Reis. Thank you for joining me and following our VAVEL live text coverage of this game between Wolves and Aston Villa.

Both sides will return to action after the international break with Wolves contesting to extend their seven unbeaten run, away to Bournemouth.

Villa will look to end their two winless run at home to Newcastle United.

While the Villans have left it too late and therefore were not able to contest for a better result. 

Wolves' fans will be satisfied to see their team move up the table as they currently fill up 7th place - the same place that saw them finish the season last year.

Great game. Great result.

A disappointing afternoon for the visitors, as they drop points away to their rivals. Their second consecutive defeat following the 2-1 home loss to Liverpool.

A late @Trezeguet goal isn't enough to help Dean Smith's side avoid defeat at Molineux.#WOLAVL #AVFC pic.twitter.com/WfdTTwyV0K

A victory that was built from a Ruben Neves' goal in the first half. Despite a late scare following Trezeguet's 92min goal, Wolves now move up to 7th place.

Aston Villa remain in 17th place.

Wolves have seen most of their goals arrive in the second-half  on 11 occasions however, Nuno's side have managed to score in the opening period of a game.

45+2

Another injury problem for Villa as Matt Targett looks disorientated following a challenge. The full-back is unable to continue and therefore makes way for Neil Taylor.

3 added minutes.

Another classic goal by the Portuguese. A free-kick from Moutinho lays the ball into the path of Neves.

Neves approaches the ball and strikes it home. His third goal of the season.

41' The hosts are in front just before the break!

Ruben Neves the usual suspect scores from the edge of the box. What a strike from the Portuguese following Moutinho's assist.

Tyrone Mings is booked for the challenge. Wolves have a free-kick outside the box.

Total attempts thus far:

0-0

26' Nakamba gets booked in an attempt to stop Diogo Jota from around 40 yards from Villa's goal.

But soon after, the home fans start chanting "We've got Neves.."

21' Diogo Jota conducts the ball to the box in order to pass it to Traore in a through ball, but Traore fails to reach it.

19' Neves' shot outside the box meets Jonny in the six yard box, who crosses the ball to Jimenez, but his shot is just wide.

No danger following El Ghazi's free-kick 

15' Guilbert is fouled by Diogo Jota. El Ghazi to take the free-kick

An injury to Steer's right achilles forced Villa to make an early sub. This is another concern for Dean Smith alongside Grealish on the sidelines.

This is the last thing Smith would have wanted..

11' Romain Saiss is booked for fouling Aston Villa's John McGinn.

Wolves have started better than Villa, as a few chances fell their way and the hosts have kept most possession..

Not a great start for Dean Smith's side..

7: 🐺 0-0 🦁

Aston Villa holds the best head-to-head record over the Wolves.

The Villans have 55 victories, there have been 32 draws and Wolves have claimed victory on 39 occasions.

Wolves could go 7th with if they achieve their third win today or drop to 16th if they lose.

Whereas Villa will remain 17th with a loss but could jump past Wolves with a win, one point clear their Midlands rivals.

Raul Jimenez (Wolves)

After a slow start to the season, the Mexican is finally starting to get back to what made him so critical to Wolves' successful push for the Europa League qualification.

He has bagged four goals in his last five games.

Wesley Moraes (Aston Villa)

The Brazilian has had to fill Tammy Abraham's boots at the start of the season. He has been productive on the road this season, including a hat-trick at Norwich on their 5-1 win. The absence of Willy Boly will mean that Wesley will fancy his chances in testing Wolves' backline.

He has scored four goals in his last three away games.

Wolves: Patricio, Bennett, Coady, Vallejo, Traore, Neves, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Jonny, Jimenez, Cutrone.

Aston Villa: Heaton, Guilbert, Engels, Mings, Targett, McGinn, Nakamba, Hourihane, Grealish, Wesley, Trezeguet.

"I fully expected him to train this week by now, but he’s had quite a big bleed on the calf from the kick (against Man City) and he’s been struggling with that but, hopefully, after 24 hours of massage, ice and breaking it down, we can actually get him on the training ground and he’ll be OK for the game but, at the moment, he’s 50-50 as he hasn’t been on the training ground.

If he’s fit, I’ll play him. He’s been performing to top levels at the moment, I wouldn’t want him on the bench.”

Wolves team news:

Willy Boly is the confirmed absence Sunday's clash.

Former Academy player, Morgan Gibbs-White is a doubt due to a back injury but will be re-assessed ahead of Sunday.

Matt Doherty is back to fitness after suffering an injury scare that forced him off against Arsenal last weekend.

Aston Villa team news:

Dean Smith is hoping Jack Grealish can make it back to the squad after the midfielder missed the defeat against Liverpool but there is a 50-50 chance he will play.

Frederic Guilbert is fully fit after sustaining a dead leg against Liverpool. While Jota (hernia) and Keinan Davis (hamstring) will both be unavailable to feature. 

James Chester is close to returning.
