Villa suffer defeat at the hands of Wolves but remain sixth ahead of the return fixture at Molineux on Boxing Day.
Joe Mercer's Villa make it two defeats in their last fourteen matches as their fixture congestion begins to bite.
Villa had now played four times in the last eleven days and lose at home for only the second time this season to make it thirteen wins, ten at home, two draws, both away and eight defeats, six away, in twenty three games following their return to the top flight.
