The teams are coming out onto the field and kick-off is fast approaching.
Villa have carried a decent attacking threat so far, but they must do more in order to drag themselves back into this contest. Watkins has been fairly quiet up to now, and will look to be more involved after the break.
That's all for today. Thank you for following our live coverage. Until next time, goodbye!
Both sides are in FA Cup action this weekend. Wolves travel to Anfield to face Liverpool in an all-Premier League clash on Saturday, with Villa welcoming League Two side Stevenage the following day.
