Premier League clubs have learned of their schedules over the Christmas period, with fixtures over the festive period announced.
Just the second-ever Premier League fixture hosted on Christmas Eve will be played between Wolves and Chelsea at Molineux on Sunday 24 December, 28 years after Leeds United beat Manchester United 3-1 in 1995.
Originally scheduled for December 23, the game has now moved as clubs look to squeeze in as many games as possible ahead of a winter break in January.
The Premier League said: "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."
Starting from Thursday 21 December, the Premier League schedule will feature just two free days across a fortnight - Christmas Day and December 29 - starting with Crystal Palace hosting Brighton and concluding with West Ham's match against the same opponents on Thursday 2 January.
Manchester City's home match against Brentford, originally scheduled for December 23, has been postponed due to Pep Guardiola's side competing in the FIFA Club World Cup.
Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime will all share broadcasting duties over the festive period.
