England Under-21s' crucial European Championship clash against Croatia at Molineux will be played on Friday October 10, it was revealed today.

Mind the horn! Take a bird's eye view from the stand from the last time the England Under-21 team visited Molineux in 2008.

The play-off first leg, which will feature the likes of Albion striker Saido Berahino, will kick-off at 5.45pm. The return clash is on October 13.

Tickets costing £10 and £5, went on sale at 10am today and can be purchased by calling 0871 222 1877. Wolves season ticket holders can get tickets for half prices.

The Football Association did request a later kick-off, but UEFA insisted all matches must kick off no later than 5.45pm (6.45pm Central European time) in line with other nations, and avoid clashing with senior qualifying fixtures being played elsewhere in Europe that night.

England Under-21 boss Gareth Southgate said: "We would have preferred to kick-off later, but I hope supporters from across the Midlands will still be able to get to the game as we look to qualify for next summer's finals in the Czech Republic."

Wolves last hosted an England Under-21 fixture in 2008 against Poland.
