On This Day
Following the injury calamities of the previous day, Villa come to Molineux with a novice 'keeper..
Goalkeeper Keith Jones makes his Villa debut after Joe Rutherford is ruled out with a dislocated finger suffered on Boxing Day and with Alan Wakeman already ruled out with a broke wrist. Jones, 19, had joined from Kidderminster Harriers in May 1946.
Villa fall back to joint 8th in the table after their two defeats as Wolves climb into fifth.
