What is at stake for Wolves and Aston Villa?

Sitting 17 points from safety with only 10 matches remaining, Wolves are all-but sentenced to a place in the Championship next season, meaning that Friday night's clash is mainly about West Midlands bragging rights.

On the other hand, Villa will be focused on arresting a slight slip in form recently, with the likes of Manchester United threatening to take third spot in the Premier League standings as the business end of the campaign approaches.

Six points ahead of sixth-placed Liverpool, the Villans need a morale-boosting success to alleviate any fears of missing out on Champions League qualification in May.
