Bertrand Traoré is set to make his first start for Aston Villa since January 2022 against Wolves on Saturday.

The winger is the only change from the XI that started last weekend’s 1-0 loss against Manchester United, with Leander Dendoncker dropping out against his former side.

It’s Traoré’s first appearance from the start since a Premier League game against Brentford in January last year.

Unai Emery has also been boosted by the return of Boubacar Kamara, Leon Bailey and Philippe Coutinho to the substitutes bench.
