Aston Villa vs Wolves predictions: Chris Sutton on Premier League

L.Thompson27 min ago
Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.

For week five, he takes on singer-songwriter and West Ham fan James Smith whose debut album Common People is out now.

Aston Villa host Wolves on Saturday at 15:00 BST.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

There were some strange results that cost me last week - I was nailed on to get the exact score of Wolves versus Newcastle until Harvey Barnes smashed in Newcastle's winner late on.

Wolves hit the post too when they were 1-0 up and, although they have only picked up one point from their first four games, they have not had much luck and I still think they will end up being fine this season, even though I don't expect them to get anything here.

Villa boss Unai Emery has to find a balancing act with their Champions League campaign and any chopping and changing to his team, which is a much bigger ask than when they reached the Europa Conference League semi-finals last season.

I didn't captain Ollie Watkins in my Fantasy team last week, when he scored a double against Everton , but Jhon Duran coming on to score Villa's winner in that game shows the depth in their squad to cope.

So, I don't feel they will be affected by their win over Young Boys in Switzerland on Tuesday. It will be interesting to see how much Emery rotates his players, but I can only see a Villa win.

Smith's prediction: 2-1

I feel like Villa are going to have another really good season.
