Wolves will welcome Chelsea to Molineux this afternoon but fans unfortunately won’t be able to watch any of the action.
Gary O’Neil’s side began the new Premier League season with a 2-0 defeat away to Arsenal and they will be hoping to follow that up with a better result.
The Blues were also beaten in their opener as they lost to Man City, but their performance was encouraging and Enzo Maresca will fancy his side’s chances in the West Midlands.
It is set to be an exciting clash between two good sides, but fans won’t be able to watch the game…

This is because the game has not been selected to broadcast despite being played at 2pm on a Sunday.
It is not being broadcast due to the fact it was originally scheduled for a 3pm kick-off on Saturday and therefore, even though the date has changed, it can still not be shown live.
Last month, it was announced that the game would be moved to Sunday and it was moved because of Chelsea’s European fixture.
Wolves provided an update on their website which read: “There has also been a change to Wolves’ opening home match against Chelsea at Molineux which will now be played at 2pm on Sunday 25th August due to the Blues’ participation in European football the previous Thursday evening.”
Chelsea beat Swiss side Servette 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of their Europa Conference League play-off.
And because they played on Thursday, it means they can’t be involved in a fixture on Saturday to allow appropriate rest for players.
The Blues also have their second leg of that play-off next Thursday so the only date possible for the game against Wolves was on Sunday.
