On the back of a breathtaking finale to their Europa Conference League tie with Zrinjski Mostar, Aston Villa make the short journey to Molineux to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in Sunday's Premier League West Midlands derby.
While Unai Emery's men are revelling in their late, late continental triumph, Wolves are also on cloud nine courtesy of ending Manchester City's perfect start to the season last weekend.
The Catalan's quip may have caused a few smirks at the time, but Hwang had the last laugh at the weekend, as the South Korea international scored the decisive goal to down the champions following Julian Alvarez's stunning free kick and Ruben Dias's deflection into his own net.
Wolves comically paid tribute to their "Korean guy" on social media as Gary O'Neil's men remarkably ended the Citizens' perfect start to the 2023-24 Premier League season, only four days on from being put to the sword by Championship high-flyers Ipswich Town in the EFL Cup.
Success over the English and European champions also snapped a four-game winless streak for Wolves, but their position remains precarious, as they occupy 15th place in the rankings and are only three points clear of the dreaded dotted line at this stage.
