The fixture will be the first played on December 24 since Manchester United played Leeds in 1995.
Mauricio Pochettino said he empathised with supporter anger over the Premier League decision to move Chelsea’s game against Wolves to Christmas Eve
Scheduled for a 1pm kick-off, it could leave supporters struggling to make travel arrangements with train timetables typically amended or curtailed the day before Christmas, while there are also concerns it will impact time supporters traditionally spend with family.
“ we celebrate on the night of the 24th. At 12 o’clock on the night we start to celebrate Christmas. More than the 25th because you’re asleep nearly all day.

We need to protect, and to care, and to look after our fans.
