Matchday information
Wolves will be carrying out ID checks on away tickets for this fixture, meaning supporters will be required to produce photographic ID when requested.
The ticket owner has been written on each ticket that has been dispatched and this will need to match with the photographic ID that is produced by supporters.
The checks will be carried out by Wolves stewards who will be present at the Emirates Stadium and will take place on the approach to the turnstiles.
Travel information
Supporters travelling to the Emirates on Sunday afternoon are recommended to use the Transport for London twitter account (@TFL) or the website https://tfl.gov.uk/ for the latest transport updates. Those travelling by National Rail services should use the national rail enquires website www.nationalrail.co.uk before travelling.
According to TFL, currently there will be a good service across the system on Sunday, apart from some minor issues that should have little effect on travel to the Islington area.
Arsenal’s ‘Get to emirates Stadium’ page on Arsenal.com also provides full information on the many ways to get to the stadium, which includes links to useful sites such as the Transport for London journey planner.
Supporters are strongly advised not to drive to Emirates Stadium. The ground is situated in a mainly residential area with an extensive Event Day Parking Scheme in operation. Only car owners with resident's permits will be allowed to park on-street in the designated areas and any cars parked illegally will be towed away.
Those wishing to travel to the Emirates by coach should contact the Wolves ticket office.

Arrival information
The usual designated away pub, the Drayton Arms, which is situated directly opposite the away section is currently closed for refurbishment and therefore not available for this match. The Metropolitan police have advised that there is no provision for away fans to visit pubs in the vicinity of the ground, and Wolves supporters are asked to drink away from the Islington area before heading to the stadium.
The stadium will open to visiting supporters at 3pm, and alcohol will be served in the away section. Arsenal reserve the right to pull sales, and if sales are pulled, bars will re-open for soft drinks and food only.
All payments at Emirates Stadium are cashless with all major credit and debit card and mobile payments accepted.
Access information
The ‘away’ turnstiles are situated at the south-east corner of the ground (entrances K and L). There are several ways to approach this part of the ground.
If supporters are travelling by coach and parking in Queensland Road, they need to walk to the end of Queensland Road turn right and walk about 50 yards where there will be a ramp on their right leading up to the podium level of the stadium, walk up the ramp and then keeping the stadium on their left they walk for about 150 yards and they will find the away entrances on their left.
Those arriving from Highbury & Islington (Victoria Line), on leaving the station turn left and walk down Holloway Road for about 10 minutes turn right into Hornsey Road, walk straight down and the stadium is in front. Take the stairs to the right of the Armoury store up to podium level and again keeping the stadium on the left and they will reach entrances K and L in about 250 yards.
Finally, supporters coming into Arsenal Underground station on the Piccadilly Line should turn right out of the station and follow the road as it turns to the left, they are now in Drayton Park. Ignore the first steps on the right-hand side and continue along Drayton Park for five minutes. On the right they will see the Danny Fiszman Bridge, cross over and this leads them directly to the away entrances.
