I kept reading

Mauricio Pochettino joined Chelsea to take the reins of the team after a very weak campaign by the Blues last season, to the point that it did not qualify for any European cup, so it only competes at the local level. With the entire Premier League ahead of them, it is clear that the goal of the London team will be to fight well at the top, although at the moment they are not achieving it.

With the arrival of Pochettino to the substitute bench there was a great exodus of players, but even so the start of the campaign was not the best, because so far after 9 rounds Chelsea is in 10th place with 12 points , 11 behind Tottenham, which is the only leader, 8 behind Liverpoolwhich is the last classified UEFA Champions League already 4 of the Brightonwhich is the last classified UEFA Europa Conference League.

In this context, thinking only of the Premier League, Enzo Fernández’s Chelsea received terrible news, since the Premier League scheduled a match for the first time in three decades for December 24, which will be between the Blues and the Wolverhamptonmatch corresponding to the 18th date of the championship.

It should be remembered that the Premier League is characterized by playing its matches until December 23 and taking a 3-day break, until the famous “Boxing Day”, where all the matches of the date are played in a single day.

1995, the last time

This decision by the Premier League organization was quite controversial, because the last time a match was played on December 24 was in the 1995/96 season when Manchester United beat Leeds 3-1. In this way, there were 28 consecutive years with the championship without having a match on December 24.
