Exclusive: Wolves fixture with Chelsea earmarked for Christmas Eve
Wolves' festive fixture at home to Chelsea is being earmarked for Christmas Eve, the Express & Star understands.
Top flight football in England was last played on December 24 back in 1995, but 28 years later it looks set to return at Molineux.
Following reports in the Telegraph that at least one game could be switched to Christmas Eve this year, the Express & Star understands Wolves' clash with Chelsea is being earmarked for that date, which falls on a Sunday.
If finalised, the governing body is targeting a 1pm kick-off, but it is unclear if this game will be the only one moved, with the current schedule having it at 3pm on December 23.
The match will be moved for TV coverage, but the decision is likely to cause frustration among supporters, particularly Chelsea fans who will have to battle the weather conditions and disrupted travel to make their way north from London.
