Wanderers have been handed a welcome boost ahead of their Carling Cup meeting with Arsenal.
The game has been scheduled to take place on Tuesday, October 25 - just 48 hours after the Gunners take on Stoke City at the Emirates in the Premier League.
It means Arsene Wenger’s side will be playing three games in seven days, including an away trip to Marseille in the Champions League.
In contrast, Wanderers take on Sunderland at 3pm on Saturday, leaving them a full day more to prepare for the cup clash.
