With a colour clash between the teams a coin toss to decide which side will wear their home kit took place at Wembley on Thursday during a meeting of officials from both clubs.

Wolves will hope it's not a bad open – they've played five times in their white kit this season and have yet to win.

They drew away at Bournemouth, Shrewsbury and Manchester United but lost at Cardiff and Leicester.

However their record at Wembley bodes far better.

Wolves have won their last six games at the home of English football – FA Cup finals in 1949 and 1960, League Cup finals in 1974 and 1980, the Sherpa Van Trophy in 1988 and a Premier League game against Tottenham in December.
