Wolves on a collision course with the Premier League over the start of next season.

The Midlands club completed a marathon 383-day campaign on Tuesday night following a 1-0 Europa League defeat by Sevilla. That loss means that Nuno Espirito Santo's men will be expected to start the new campaign on September 12 as it falls after the agreed 30-day break period.

But Molineux officials believe the problem could be resolved if Manchester City and Manchester United - who will have their first League fixtures postponed due to their progress in the Champions League and Europa League - were drawn to play Wolves and Chelsea on September 12.
