This year’s festive football schedule will see the first Premier League match played on Christmas Eve for 28 years when Wolves host Chelsea (13:00 GMT).
Each club will play three games between 21 December and 2 January, except for champions Manchester City and Brentford.
Crystal Palace host Brighton in the first Christmas fixture on Thursday, 21 December (20:00), while Aston Villa face Sheffield United on Friday, 22 December (20:00)
Six matches remain on Saturday, 23 December including Fulham’s game against Burnley, which will see Rebecca Welch become the first female referee for a Premier League fixture.
The scheduling of Chelsea’s visit to Wolves on Christmas Eve has drawn criticism with the Football Supporters’ Association, who said it was “an unwanted present which no-one asked for”, while the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust described the decision as “totally unacceptable”.
Chelsea will have the shortest recovery time, with 139.5 hours between their first kick-off and third kick-off, while Brighton have the most with 283.5 hours – double that of Chelsea.
Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Prime Video will share live broadcast rights throughout the festive season with the BBC showing highlights.
