Wolves’ Carabao Cup tie with Everton and Championship fixture against Portsmouth have been moved once again following UEFA’s Champions League fixture release.
Last week Wolves’ cup tie at Everton was scheduled for Wednesday 9th September, meaning the Old Gold’s Championship clash with Portsmouth at Molineux was pushed back to Wednesday 16th September.
However, over the weekend UEFA placed Liverpool’s Champions League fixture with Atletico Madrid on 9th September, despite the fact they and Everton cannot both play at home on the same night.
EFL and UEFA officials met on Monday morning to discuss options, however UEFA were unwilling to reschedule, given visiting supporters were travelling overseas for the fixture, leading to an enforced rescheduling of the EFL games, much to the frustration of both clubs.
Both Wolves and Everton are in action on Sunday 6th September, meaning Tuesday 8th September was not an available date, and the cup tie must now take place on 16th September.
In turn, that affects the Portsmouth fixture at Molineux, which will now take place on Tuesday 20th October, 7.45pm.
Tickets already purchased for the Portsmouth fixture on 9th September or 16th September will remain valid for 20th October, while supporters wanting a refund for either of the previous dates can do so up to 48 hours before the rearranged date.
