Speaking to Sky Sports before the 8pm GMT kick-off, Emery acknowledged Wolves' tactical approach under Rob Edwards. 'We are ready, we are focused. We are aware of how we must compete today,' he said, adding that Wolves are 'playing tactically offensive and individually in defence also.'
The Villa boss emphasized that despite Wolves' lowly position, they remain a demanding team. 'We are expecting a competitive match,' Emery confirmed. 'Wolves are playing fresh at the moment... They are a demanding team for their opponent.'
