Douglas Luiz - Starting against Wolves Luiz (ankle) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Wolverhampton.

Impact Luiz is good to go after getting a knock to his ankle a few days ago. It's unclear if he's injured at all and ready to go a full 90, though without John McGinn or Jacob Ramsey in the squad, Villa don't have a ton of depth in the midfield, especially players who can fill Luiz's role.

Aaron Ramsey - Rehabbing with Villa Ramsey is back with Aston Villa, rehabbing following knee surgery underwent after suffering an injury with Norwich City over the World Cup break.

Impact Ramsey is hoping to follow the footsteps of his older brother Jacob, but this injury is a bet of a setback. There's still a chance he'll stick with Villa next season after producing three goals and three assists in 18 appearances (13 starts) with Norwich prior to this injury.

Lucas Digne - Nice showing for win Digne recorded four crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Despite not finding the score sheet, Digne had one of his best outings of the season in this contest. His four crosses and two corners were both team-highs for a Villa squad that largely attacked the center of the pitch. He should be a rather reliable fantasy option for most opponents as his squad try to round into form.

Robin Olsen - Keeps Spurs quiet Olsen made one save while keeping a clean sheet during Sunday's 2-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Olsen continues to fill in admirably for World Cup champ Emiliano Martinez and posted his first clean sheet across three starts this season on Sunday. Having said that, Martinez is expected to return soon, and Olsen will likely be relegated back to a reserve role when he does.

Ollie Watkins - Logs helper in win Watkins assisted once to go with four shots (zero on target) and three chances created in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur. He also made two clearances.

Impact This was another tidy shift from Watkins, who's rebounded nicely following a somewhat slow start to the fantasy campaign. With the assist, he's now logged a goal contribution in four of his last five EPL appearances. He played the full 90 Sunday and will look to keep the momentum going Wednesday versus Wolves.

Emiliano Buendia - Scores second of season Buendia scored a goal on two shots (one on target) and created two chances during Sunday's 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Buendia fired a rebound strike to the near-post to open the scoring in this contest and gave Villa all the cushion they would need against a rather impotent Spurs squad. The goal was assisted by Ollie Watkins. Buendia was relieved of his duties during the 82nd minute once the game was all but decided and gave way to Calum Chambers at that juncture.

Emiliano Martinez - Back with team Martinez is back with the team Friday ahead of Sunday's trip to Tottenham.

Impact Martinez should be back in the starting XI Sunday, assuming he didn't party too hard following the World Cup victory. Robin Olsen started in the recent loss against Liverpool, but as long as Martinez is good to go, he'll be back in the XI against Tottenham, having compiled three clean sheets in 15 starts.
