A sold-out allocation of more than 3,000 supporters will be heading to north London for the 7.45pm Premier League kick-off, and for supporters who are heading to the match, here’s everything to know before making the trip.
Covid safety information
If you are feeling unwell with Covid-19 symptoms or any cold or flu-type symptoms, please do not attend the game.
Following the Government's easing of Covid-19 Plan B restrictions, and in line with the latest guidance, NHS Covid passes will no longer be required as a condition of entry to a match at the Emirates Stadium.
Supporters are encouraged to follow public health guidance when attending this match, including wearing face coverings when indoors or in crowded areas, maintaining good hand hygiene and not attending if you have Covid-19 symptoms.
Matchday information
Supporters travelling to the Emirates on Thursday night 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, there are no planned strikes and only a partial closure on the Piccadilly Line on Thursday evening that should not overly affect Wolves supporters’ journeys if using the underground network.
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.
Coach parking for visiting can be booked by clicking here.
The designated away fans 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 6.30pm, 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.
Security at Emirates Stadium is at a high level so Wolves supporters are urged to arrive early for the match. Outside the turnstiles, stewards will search by way of a full pat down body search.
Supporters are encouraged not to bring a bag and only essential items, with the maximum bag size being A4. All bags are searched and tagged prior to entry. There are no ‘left luggage’ facilities at Emirates Stadium. The nearest left luggage facilities are at Kings Cross station.
Further information regarding banned items can be found by clicking here, while the full ground regulations can be read here.
Wolves and Arsenal operate a zero tolerance policy towards abusive or anti-social behaviour in any form. If supporters wish to report an incident or concern while at the Emirates Stadium, they should report this to the nearest steward or, alternatively, send the text message FOUL to the ‘See Something, Say Something’ SMS reporting service on 67777 together with a description of the incident.

Social stories
Social stories, a new communication exchange technique using meaningful and understandable pictures, are now available for all of Wolves’ away trips.
These guides are designed to assist fans through an event using up to date pictures and giving them advanced knowledge of what to expect when visiting new places.
Any supporter who would benefit from a social story for visiting the Emirates Stadium, or any future away game, should contact the Wolves Fan Services team on fanservices@wolves.co.uk.
Each social story is individual to the away ground Wolves visits.
