It's that time of year again when Premier League matches come thick and fast. While Jurgen Klopp may not be particularly delighted about the congested schedule, millions of fans around the world would beg to differ.

The hectic festive fixture period is now underway with a round of midweek games, starting with Chelsea's trip to Wolves on Tuesday evening followed by Manchester City welcoming West Brom to the Etihad.

On Wednesday, Arsenal aim to avoid a fifth straight home loss when they host in-form Southampton, while Leeds United entertain Newcastle United and Everton visit Leicester City. Later that same evening, Fulham and Brighton clash at Craven Cottage, and Crystal Palace make the short trip across London to take on West Ham. The biggest game of the round, also on Wednesday night, sees champions Liverpool face leaders Tottenham at Anfield.

The two remaining matches will be played on Thursday when Aston Villa host Burnley at Villa Park, before Manchester United travel to bottom side Sheffield United.
