Premier League festive fixtures in full: Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham games confirmed

Chelsea's trip to Wolves headlines the Premier League's typically busy festive fixture schedule.

Reports that Mauricio Pochettino's Blues are due to travel to Molineux to face Gary O'Neil's men for an early afternoon kick-off on December 24 have now been officially confirmed, marking the first top-flight fixture to be contested on Christmas Eve since 1995.

The decision to play the game on Christmas Eve has been met by stern criticism from the Chelsea Supporters' Trust (CST), who have called the scheduling "unacceptable" and want match-going supporters to be properly consulted and the decision reversed.

Playing on Christmas Eve means that Chelsea do not have a Boxing Day fixture this year, instead hosting Crystal Palace in a London derby at Stamford Bridge on December 27 before travelling to play Luton three days later.

Arsenal and Tottenham don't play on Boxing Day either, with the north London rivals both in action on December 28 before also having games on New Year's Eve.

The most high-profile game of the entire period comes on December 23, when Arsenal battle title rivals Liverpool at Anfield. They also host an all-London affair against West Ham before the New Year.

Here's the Premier League's festive fixture programme in full...
