Tomorrow night's clash is Wolves' dedicated 'Rainbow Laces' fixture, where the club will join the Premier League in supporting Stonewall's campaign.
There will be several special events taking place throughout the evening to demonstrate the club's ongoing commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ inclusion and making clear that football is for everyone. Click here to learn more about the Rainbow Laces campaign.
Ahead of the 7.30pm kick-off, here is everything the 30,000-plus supporters who are attending the match need to know before arriving at the stadium.
Molineux continues to operate under the Premier League Covid-19 protocols, so we are going to need the support of our fans to keep us operating at full capacity – or close to it – and we must work together to keep each safe and ‘match ready’.
Covid protocol and Code of Conduct
To allow supporters to return to Molineux at full capacity, the club has published a supporter’s code of conduct in line with Government advice and Premier League protocol.
This code of conduct is likely to be in place for the foreseeable future and must be followed by all supporters attending Molineux.

Covid status spot checks and Covid pass
Supporters are advised to be prepared for increased Covid-19 vaccination spot checks on matchdays at Molineux. Although Covid-19 status certification is not yet mandatory, we ask our supporters to be ready for its potential implementation on future matchdays.
Previously, Wolves has requested supporters participate in spot checks at home fixtures and spot checks were increased ahead of our previous home games against Everton and West Ham.
To ensure the safety of everyone in attendance and minimise the risk of Covid-19 transmission, all supporters over the age of 18, including those in hospitality, should only attend a match if they have a valid NHS Covid Pass or can show valid alternative proof that they have been double vaccinated or have registered a negative Covid test in the previous 48 hours.
At every match at Molineux, there will be a team of Covid status spot checkers who will be operating outside the turnstile blocks and identifiable by a purple high-vis tabard. Fans must be prepared to present their valid Covid Status evidence to a team member, prior to entering the stadium.
