Squad sheets: Wolverhampton Wanderers v Aston Villa
After getting off to a winning start on Wednesday in his first game as Aston Villa manager, Gérard Houllier takes charge of his first Premier League match for six years in this West Midlands derby. Richard Dunne is ruled out with a knee injury and Stephen Ireland is doubtful, although Houllier's main selection dilemma surrounds whether to start with Emile Heskey after his impressive impact in midweek. Wolves have no new injury worries as they look for their first league win since the opening day of the season.
