What with all those changes and the fact Manchester City, like Manchester United, have only just returned to training, Wolves have to fancy their chances tonight.

Nuno Espirito Santo's men did the double over City last term.

The last time Wolves beat City three times in succession in the top flight was 1961.

A bit more information about the Manchester City side.

The Blues are without seven first-team players. Ilkay Gundogan tested positive for coronavirus, Aymeric Laporte has just returned to training after his own positive test. Sergio Aguero has a knee injury.

In addition, Eric Garcia has had stitches in a head wound. Joao Cancelo has a foot injury, Bernardo Silva and Oleksandr Zinchenko have muscular injuries.

"Stop with the stupid quotes. I thought this was a football program." - John in Birmingham.

Oli McBurnie on to replace Chris Basham as Sheffield United's third and final change.

That comes a few minutes after Ben Osborn came on for John Fleck.

Villa sense a second and come close to doubling their advantage.

The fleet-footed Jack Grealish shifts the ball onto his right on the edge of the box but curls it just wide of goal.

Seven of Aston Villa's last nine Premier League goals have come from set-piece situations (Corner x4, free-kick x3).

The big question is, can Villa see the game out?
