That is because a player from each side will wear a bodycam for the warm-ups prior to the match at Molineux.
And that will enable supporters in their armchairs to see exactly what stars go through when preparing for a top-flight clash – including the various drills and shooting practice.
As reported by the Daily Mail, TNT and the Premier League have struck a historic deal to introduce the innovative new tech.
The two players will wear the special vests, created by Israeli company MindFly.

The vests are fitted with a shatterproof AI-powered stabilisation bodycam on the chest, providing a wide-angle view through a small hole in the kit.
The camera is said to be so light that it is barely noticeable for the footballers who are used to wearing base layers and GPS trackers.
However, Ifab laws prevent the cameras from being worn for competitive matches – which means fans won’t get the incredible insight once the Wolves vs Spurs clash gets underway on TNT Sports.
Premier League Head of Media Operations and Innovation, Rachael Nightingale, said: “Finding new ways to bring our fans closer to the action on the pitch is a key focus for us.

“After the success of the bodycam trials at the Premier League Summer Series, we are looking forward to seeing what results this test will deliver for TNT and our audiences around the world.”
Supporters got an insight into the future of live sports broadcasting when Youri Tielemans and Bruno Guimaraes wore the bodycams during pre-season in the USA.
Viewers were stunned to see the speed of the friendly game, requiring fast thinking and incredible fitness levels.
A similar camera on referee Peter Bankes during Fulham’s tie with Brentford also revealed just how tricky officiating can be – and what they must deal with when the ball is in and out of play.
An FA trial also saw refs wear bodycams in an attempt to clamp down on poor behaviour and language towards officials, including in grassroots football.
And in May, Moises Caicedo bizarrely wore a bodycam for the pre-match handshakes as Brighton hosted Manchester United.

Fans watching on the app received a black screen with a message reading: “Something went wrong.”
Many subsequently took to social media to vent their frustrations.
One sarcastically wrote: “Discovery+ App doesn’t show the game. Website doesn’t show the game. Great value for money.”
And a second damningly wrote: “Discovery+ app not working for the united game… not the first time. Aint renewing that one.”

A third fumed: “The Discovery Plus app is absolutely woeful.”
And another added: “Discovery+ app still really poor! Please sort it@tntsports @discoveryplus.”
SunSport understands it was a minor issue within the app that was resolved quickly.
Warner Bros. Discovery completed their purchase of BT Sport last year.

They have since rebranded to TNT Sports, although have kept much of the same programming.
The BT Sport app remained until last month, when fans were forced to switch to Discovery+ in order to watch TNT Sports.
Discovery+ also features programming from Eurosport.
Fans may have missed what United thought was their opener when Scott McTominay converted from close range on eight minutes.
Following a lengthy VAR check, however, the goal was controversially disallowed when Harry Maguire was deemed to have been offside and active in the build-up.
Fans also had a scare in the very first minute, when Maguire appeared to suffer an injury.
But the England defender was able to shrug off the issue and continue.

Prior to kick-off, Silva joined the TNT Sports team pitchside to discuss his new contract.
However, as he spoke to Lynsey Hipgrave, Rio Ferdinand and Joe Cole, the sprinklers behind them turned on.
Silva was soon being sprayed with water as he cowered out of the way to the amusement of the presenting team.
Ferdinand joked: “Sack the groundsman, where is he?” before Silva was able to continue his answer.

The Fulham boss penned a new deal through to the summer of 2026 last month.
His extension comes after he turned down an approach from the Saudi Pro League during pre-season.
Before he was soaked by the sprinklers, he had explained it was an “easy” decision to commit his future to the Cottagers.
Silva joined the Cottagers in 2021 following spells with Hull, Watford and Everton.
