Wolves boss Gary O'Neil is looking forward to testing himself against Aston Villa's Unai Emery.

Wolves host Villa in the Black Country derby today.

He's done incredibly well," said O'Neil.

I played against Unai Emery's Aston Villa last season (while at Bournemouth) and they were very good. A really good understanding of their structure and what he's trying to do with them.

You can see they've been doing it now for quite a long time and there's a good understanding. They've managed to evolve it with some good signings as well.

There's some fantastic players there and obviously Ollie Watkins is back in the England squad. Diaby is a big threat and they have a strong squad.

It will be a good test for us but one that we're ready for. The boys understand what Aston Villa are and what to expect in a local derby we're all looking forward to."
