We visited the barbers' shop where an Aston Villa fan and a Wolves supporter are on tenterhooks ahead of the big derby
It's hairdryers at dawn at a Black Country barbers' shop as football-mad Phil Dunn and Tony Colabella prepare for the big showdown this weekend.
Diehard Villan Tony and lifelong Wolves fan Phil are known to customers at Menz Barbers in Sedgley, near Dudley, for their fierce football rivalry.
But with Sunday's big derby approaching, and the stakes sky high for both clubs, the tension is reaching fever pitch.
With winless Wolves still looking to claim their first scalp of the season, and a win potentially taking Villa into second place, should other results go their way, Phil might be forgiven for feeling a little smug.
Yet he is actually quite cagey about his team's prospects.
"To tell you the truth, I'm quite nervous, and I think Wolves could get their first win," says Tony.
"But hopefully, a nice comfortable 3-0 win for us would be brilliant," he adds, much to Phil's amusement.
"It's a local derby, Wolves haven't won a game yet, and for some reason they always decide to play well when they've got a big team like Villa coming to town."
Phil, 60, has been watching Wolves since the age of three.
