And the answers to their long-burning questions have been finally answered.

Prem chiefs announced the times and channels for their feast of festive football on Thursday afternoon.

And the fixture which stood out was Chelsea‘s trip to Wolves on Christmas Eve.

The Molineux melee will be the first Prem match to take place on Santa’s busiest day of the year in a staggering 28 years.

That means Blues fans will have to make a quick dash from Molineux to Birmingham New Street Station to make sure they’re back home before the big man arrives.

The broadcasting rights for the festive fixtures have been shared between Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon.

Newcastle’s clash with Nottingham Forest kicks off Amazon Prime Boxing Day coverage, with Aston Villa‘s trip to Old Trafford at 8pm rounding things off.

North London duo Arsenal and Tottenham will close out 2024 with 2pm matches on New Year’s Eve.
