Aston Villa play host to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Villa Park at lunchtime on Saturday, looking to continue an impressive record. The Villans are clearly on top, having won 33 and lost only 12 of the 57 games.
The last time the two teams met at Aston Villa was back in December 2003, over five years ago, as the Villans squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a Premiership match.
