That is why a plan has emerged to revive the matches on December 24which can help free up the agenda a little on the 26th. The last time there was a game on Christmas Eve was in 1995three years after the formation of the Premier League, when the Manchester United was beaten 3-1 by Leeds United an Elland Road.
In In 2017, an attempt was made to move matches to this datebut the pressure from the politicians and fan groups overturned the motion, due to the chaos that mobility represents that day in the cities. This year, the latent threat is the group of railway workers, who last Christmas went on strike, prohibiting all travel from December 24 to 27. A situation that created chaos in the country.
Now the sponsors and the league seek to revive the days of December 24, after 28 yearsto organize the Wolverhampton vs Chelsea as a test. The truth is that the plans are on track and would be made official by the Premier League this Friday, according to reports in England.
