Overview

• The Premier League has scheduled the first Christmas Eve match since 1995, where Chelsea will face Wolves at Molineux Stadium.
• The Chelsea Supporters' Trust (CST) has criticized this decision, describing it as 'totally unacceptable' due to challenges related to travel, staffing at Molineux, and disruptions to holiday transport schedules.
• CST has requested a meeting with the Premier League and has also asked that the league formally consults supporters about scheduling issues in the future.
• The decision to move the game to Christmas Eve is seen as a lack of consideration for the fans by both the Chelsea and Wolves supporters' trusts.
• Other fixture changes confirmed on the Premier League’s website also include Nottingham Forest facing a 12.30pm kick-off at Newcastle on Boxing Day, while six matches will be played on December 23.
