The original fixture between these two sides was originally set for Wednesday 9 September but it was postponed after Wolves progressed to a Carabao Cup third round tie against Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on the same day.

However, UEFA then announced the Champions League match between Liverpool and Atletico Madrid would also be taking place that night at Anfield.

Everton and Liverpool are not able to play home matches on the same evening and after discussions with UEFA, the EFL were forced to push the cup game back a week and, as a result, postpone the Championship action once more to tonight.
