Premier League Festive Period Fixture Schedule

The upcoming festive period promises a busy schedule for Premier League teams, with most clubs set to compete in three matches over a 12-day span. This year, eight games are scheduled for Boxing Day. Unlike the previous year, which included a Christmas Eve fixture where Wolves hosted Chelsea, no match is planned for Christmas Eve this season. On Boxing Day, league leaders Liverpool will play Leicester at 20:00 GMT, while Manchester City will host Everton at 12:30. Other notable matches on Boxing Day include a west London derby between Chelsea and Fulham, and Aston Villa’s visit to Newcastle, both scheduled for 15:00. The subsequent day, Arsenal will face struggling Ipswich at 20:15 as one of two scheduled fixtures. Brentford will host Arsenal on New Year’s Day at 17:30, and Liverpool is set to play Manchester United on Sunday, 5 January, at 16:30. All matches can be followed via BBC Sport’s online live text service, with updates and live commentaries for certain games also available on BBC Radio 5 Live. Arsenal will host Brentford at Emirates Stadium on New Year’s Day. All listed times are GMT.
