Last time out, it was a resounding, dazzling 6-1 thrashing of fellow European qualifiers Brighton, as Ollie Watkins bagged a hat trick and Unai Emery’s side leapfrogged the Seagulls for 5th place in the table. Aston Villa will be on short rest this weekend, though, after a mix-and-match first team came away with a 1-0 victory over Serbian side Zrinjski Mostar in the Europa Conference League on Thursday. John McGinn headed home in the 94th minute to break the scoreless deadlock at the death. With a relatively favorable run of fixtures to come after next week’s international break (West Ham, Luton Town, Nottingham Forest and Fulham, before facing Tottenham at the end of November), the good times could continue to roll for some time yet.
Wolves won last weekend as well as Gary O’Neil’s team stunned three-time defending champions Manchester City in the biggest upset of the year thus far. Following a less than stellar start to the season (1W-1D-4L in their first six games), the improbable outcome ended Wolves’ three-game winless streak and kept them three points clear of the relegation zone. Hwang Hee-chan, the leading scorer for the Wolves, scored the winning goal midway through the second half to bring his season total to four.
