Will West Brom vs Wolves have to be replayed if the match cannot be resumed?

Officials cannot resume the match until it is completely deemed safe to do so.

Wolves would progress if they end the match with the current 2-0 score line.

However, West Brom will be hoping that they can play out the last 13 minutes.
