Chelsea Diary: Seven days of Christmas

The festive season is upon us, but football never stops and there is still plenty to look forward to at Chelsea, including the traditional Boxing Day Premier League fixture at Stamford Bridge.

Monday

The week begins with all the reaction from Sunday's visit to Goodison Park. As well as the highlights of that 0-0 draw with Everton, Enzo Maresca reveals his pride at a show of defensive resilience from the Blues, while goalkeeper Robert Sanchez discusses his brilliant save to help continue our unbeaten run, which now extends to 12 games in all competitions.

Tuesday

On Christmas Eve, Enzo Maresca will be looking ahead to our Boxing Day meeting with Fulham when he faces the media in his pre-match press conference. It begins at 1pm and will be available to stream live on the official Chelsea website and app, as well as on demand later in the day.

Wednesday

It's Christmas Day, but there's no rest at Chelsea. While the rest of the country settles down with family to eat their turkey, the Blues will be hard at work at Cobham to prepare for our next game in the busy festive schedule.

On our website and app, you can pass the lazy hours after Christmas dinner with a pair of exclusive interviews, as Moises Caicedo shares the journey that has taken him from his beginnings in South America to starring for Chelsea in the Premier League, plus Chelsea Women head coach Sonia Bompastor reflects on her incredible first six months with the Blues.

Thursday

The traditional Boxing Day fixture this year sees Chelsea at home and hosting our closest neighbours for a festive west London derby. Fulham are the visitors in the Premier League as we take to the Stamford Bridge pitch for the last time in 2024, with kick-off at 3pm. The game will be shown by Amazon Prime in the UK and we will be following all the build-up, action and reaction live in our Chelsea vs Fulham Match Centre.

That will be followed by match highlights, the full match replay and Enzo Maresca's post-match verdict from his press conference at the Bridge.

Friday

We will have all the highlights and reaction from the local Boxing Day meeting with Fulham, as Enzo Maresca and his squad give their thoughts on the previous day's game.

From 1pm, you can watch also Maresca's pre-match press conference previewing Chelsea's last game of the year, a visit to Ipswich Town on Monday 30 December. It will be our first visit to Portman Road in any competition for more than 20 years, the last being a 0-0 draw in April 2002.

Saturday

The build-up to Monday's game continues as we head into the weekend, and we will be bringing you the latest views of Enzo Maresca and his players as the trip to Ipswich draws nearer.

Sunday

As we approach the end of the year and our last match of 2024, we will be giving you all the information you need. First there will be an in-depth look ahead to our trip to Ipswich as club historian Rick Glanvill and club statistician Paul Dutton examine the past and present of that fixture in detail.

You can also get ready for January, as we bring you all the facts and dates you need to know about the upcoming winter transfer window.
