Still, if the last two months of the season are survival of the fittest, relegation-threatened Villa may yet have cause to thank the punishing regime imposed by French fitness trainer Robert Duverne. And it is punishing; captain Stiliyan Petrov has previously joked that his &#8220;next level of fitness is dying.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Wolves remain very much alive in their quest to stay up. They are in their best form of the season and a first win over Villa for three decades would put them only a point behind their neighbours. <\/p>\n<p><b>MATCH FACTS<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Head-to-head<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Villa are unbeaten in their last 17 league and cup matches against Wolves (W13, D4) since a 3-1 home defeat on 10 March 1980. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Wolves have conceded in each of their last 11 league visits to Villa Park since 1963. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Gerard Houllier&#8217;s first league game in charge of Villa was a 2-1 victory at Wolves in September. Villa have only won five of their subsequent 23 league matches. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 These two clubs met on the opening day of the inaugural Football League season in 1888. That game ended 1-1 at Molineux. <\/p>\n<p><b>Aston Villa<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Villa have only taken five points from as many matches. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 They have dropped an unrivalled 21 points from winning positions this season. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Gerard Houllier&#8217;s side have kept only one clean sheet in their last 18 league matches. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Gabriel Agbonlahor needs two goals to become only the second player to score 50 Premier League goals for Villa. Dwight Yorke netted 60 times for the club. <\/p>\n<p><b>Wolves<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Wolves are unbeaten in their last three league matches, and their only defeat in the last five was at Arsenal. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 They have the worst away record in the division, winning once and picking up only five points. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Mick McCarthy&#8217;s side have lost an unrivalled 16 league matches this season. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Kevin Doyle is poised for his 200th career league start, while Stephen Ward could make his 150th appearance for Wolves. <\/p>\n<p><b>LEADING GOALSCORERS<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Aston Villa<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Bent: 14 goals* (11 league); A Young: 8 goals (6 league) <\/p>\n<p><i>* Bent scored 11 goals (8 league) for Sunderland<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Wolves<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Doyle: 8 goals (5 league); Fletcher: 7 goals (5 league) <\/p>\n<p><b>MATCH OFFICIALS<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Referee<\/b>: Phil Dowd <\/p>\n<p><b>Assistant referees<\/b>: Scott Ledger &#038; Glenn Turner <\/p>\n<p><b>Fourth official<\/b>: Peter Walton <\/p>\n<p><b>LAST LEAGUE MATCH LINE-UPS<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Aston Villa <\/b>(L2-3 v Bolton, a): Friedel; Walker, L Young, Clark, Baker, Reo-Coker, Delph (Petrov 77), Albrighton (Agbonlahor 83), A Young, Downing, Bent.
