Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Digne's surging run to the left byline is not quite enough to keep a long throughball in play, and though the French full-back claims for a corner it is not awarded. It's been a pretty bright start from the home side.

Following a minute's applause to celebrate the life of Aston Villa legend Gary Shaw - a 1982 European Cup winner, who passed away earlier this week - Wolves kick off and we are under way in Birmingham.

The players are out on the pitch at Villa Park, and kick-off in this Premier League contest is now just moments away!

After making 10 changes for Wednesday's EFL Cup clash - with only Joao Gomes retained from the side that started against Newcastle - Wolves revert to last week's league lineup. Cunha and Larsen are paired up front, while Johnstone replaces Jose Sa in goal. Toti Gomes has failed to overcome a hamstring strain, but Ait-Nouri is fit to return at left-back.

Aston Villa make one change to the XI that started on Tuesday, as Diego Carlos replaces Bogarde in defence, meaning Konsa will switch to right-back. Watkins holds off competition from Duran to start up front. Once again long-term absentees Boubacar Kamara and Tyrone Mings - both of whom have returned to full training - join Matty Cash and Jaden Philogene on the sidelines.

SUBS: Jose Sa, Matt Doherty, Santiago Bueno, Hwang Hee-Chan, Rodrigo Gomes, Tommy Doyle, Pablo Sarabia, Carlos Forbs, Goncalo Guedes.

WOLVES (4-4-1-1): Sam Johnstone; Nelson Semedo, Yerson Mosquera, Craig Dawson, Rayan Ait-Nouri; Mario Lemina, Andre, Joao Gomes, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde; Matheus Cunha; Jorgen Strand Larsen.

SUBS: Joe Gauci, Ross Barkley, Jhon Duran, Emiliano Buendia, Kosta Nedeljkovic, Ian Maatsen, Lamare Bogarde, Leon Bailey, Kadan Young.

ASTON VILLA (4-2-3-1): Emiliano Martinez; Ezri Konsa, Diego Carlos, Pau Torres, Lucas Digne; Amadou Onana, Youri Tielemans; John McGinn, Morgan Rogers, Jacob Ramsey; Ollie Watkins.

Wolves have put just a single point on the board so far, after going down to a 2-1 defeat against Newcastle United last week. Gary O'Neil has now overseen just one win across his team's last 14 Premier League matches - a run featuring no fewer than 10 losses - and they also exited the EFL Cup to Brighton in midweek. While Wolves were beaten 2-0 in their most recent meeting with today's hosts, they have lost only one of their last five league games at Villa Park.
