    Notes

    1. Played behind closed doors due to social distancing restrictions in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
    2. All ties in the FA Cup Third Round begin a minute later than normal to encourage fans to "Take A Minute" to think about looking after their mental health as part of the Heads Up campaign.
    3. Bastian Dankert (Germany) was originally appointed to referee this match by UEFA but was replaced due to injury.
    4. This match was officially behind closed doors due to UEFA sanctions imposed against the home team arising from their play-off round tie against PAOK. Under UEFA rules, children aged under 14 were still allowed to attend such games (free of charge), with one adult for every 10 children also allowed entry to act as a supervisor. Wolves were allowed a restricted allocation of 200 tickets.
    5. This match was played behind closed doors after the Greek authorities imposed a ban on public gatherings due to fears after the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
    6. The planned return game on 19 March was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[17]
