John McGinn’s game-winning goal in the 94th minute in front of the Holte End gave them a thrilling victory over Zrinjski Mostar on Thursday night in the Europa Conference League. Last weekend, rivals Wolves defeated Manchester City 2-1 at home while Villa destroyed Brighton 6-1 at Villa Park.
Wolves have only lost four of their last 13 home games in 2023, despite their difficulties over the previous 12 months. In their last eight victories at Molineux, they have won five of them while recording eight clean sheets.
Only one of Villa’s last six trips to Molineux has resulted in victory, and that victory came in 2021 when Anwar El Ghazi converted a penalty in extra time in the second half. Additionally, Wolves have prevailed over Villa three times in their last four encounters, matching their total from the previous 12 encounters.
Prior to the October break, a victory for Villa may move them into the top four. Only in 1998-99 have Emery’s team’s gained more points at this time of a Premier League campaign (15 points from seven games). In fact, since Arsenal in 2018–19, who were also led by Arsene Wenger, it is the most points a team has earned after seven games despite losing on MD1.
