The Premier League returns on Saturday and the opening day sees Wolves take on Manchester City at Molineux in the evening kick-off.
For the thousands of supporters who will be attending the 5.30pm kick-off, here is everything you need to know ahead of travelling to Molineux…
Key matchday information
In the wake of Diogo Jota’s passing, the Old Gold Pack began fundraising to support the tributes at the Man City game, and the final product will be a moving tifo which will be displayed in the South Bank ahead of the 5.30pm kick-off.
Fan mosaics will fill the South Bank further pre-match, while a minute’s applause will take place once the players have entered the pitch. During the final moments before kick-off, Diogo’s favourite song, Sting’s Fields of Gold, will play over the Molineux speakers, providing a fitting final tribute.
Supporters are urged to take their seats early across all stands where possible to be involved with this tribute. Read more about the tributes here.

A commemorative matchday programme, dedicated to the memory of Diogo Jota, has been produced for Wolves’ Premier League opener against Manchester City this weekend.
Saturday’s game is the first competitive Old Gold fixture since the tragic passing of Jota and his brother Andre Silva, and a 100-page programme is wrapped with a touching tribute to both.
Expertly designed by Ed Robinson, the Jota commemorative cover is matched inside with the first 48 pages dedicated to the club legend and now Hall of Fame member, through a series of tributes, interviews and features into his career.
Also in the first programme of the season, there are comments from Vitor Pereira and the Wolves squad ahead of the new Premier League campaign, while hosts Man City are covered in the away section.
The programme is available to purchase from the Molineux Megastore, from the various programme sellers around the stadium and from the catering kiosks. Supporters not attending the fixture can purchase online through programme retailers Curtis Sports.
