This season's festive Premier League schedule is significantly favourable for leaders Chelsea, who have an accumulative total of seven days rest between matches - the most in the division.
Antonio Conte’s squad have four days off between hosting Bournemouth on Boxing Day and Stoke on New Year's Eve, and then another three before their trip to White Hart Lane to face Tottenham on January 4.
Overall, they play three times across 10 days. Liverpool and Manchester City, meanwhile, have less than 44 hours between their New Year’s Eve encounter at Anfield, a 5:30pm kick-off, and their following 3pm fixtures on January 2.
