Chelsea to Play Wolves on Christmas Eve After Premier League Confirms Festive Fixture List

The Premier League has confirmed its festive fixture list, with Chelsea set to play Wolves on Christmas Eve. It will be the first Premier League game played on December 24 since 1995, as Chelsea supporters face a trip to Molineux for a 1pm kick off.

The Premier League has insisted that the winter fixture list has been put together with player welfare in mind as all clubs are given a minimum rest period of 60 hours between games. A statement from the Premier League read: ‘The broadcast selections have been announced for live TV in the UK for the rest of the Premier League matches in December, and up to matchweek 21 in January 2024. As in previous seasons, special arrangements have been made to allow more time between games played across the three festive matchweeks. This will allow greater time for players to recover, with the rest periods between matchweeks 18, 19 and 20 being increased to ensure that no club plays within 60 hours of another match.’
