Aston Villa’s Premier League clash with Wolves will kick-off at the slightly unusual time of 2:05pm on Sunday.
It is one of three matches scheduled for a 2:05pm start, rather than the usual 2pm slot, with champions Liverpool playing West Ham at the London Stadium and Nottingham Forest hosting Brighton at the City Ground.
All three matches have had their kick-off times adjusted because of an early kick-off in the Premier League between Manchester United and Crystal Palace.
The Eagles host Ruben Amorim’s Red Devils at Selhurst Park at 12pm - and so to make sure the match action between those two clubs does not spill over into today’s later kick-offs the start times have been slightly adjusted.
[Villa](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/all-about/aston-villa-fc) will be favourites to beat Wolves, but boss Unai Emery is refusing to accept the tag ahead of the match.
"I am not feeling favourite playing a Premier League match because I know that if we are thinking that this is easier than we can prepare, we are not going to play in our 100 per cent,” he insisted.
"It is necessary to start winning the match, because even then you can lose. We can use different moments of them and I want to remind that when Wolves played with those players, with a different coach, against Tottenham away, they deserved to win and they drew.
"This match is for me the example of how difficult the Premier League is. Wolves are at the bottom, but with the new coach they are going to be motivated and excited to get a competitive way.
"The coach knows us and he will try to use his capacity, trying to get some points here. After this respect is how we respond and how we want to set the objective in this match.
"We have to respect them, but play with our personality and our good form. To keep our good form, we have to be very demanding."
