As things stand, there is currently no Boxing Day fixture, with that falling on a Friday, although that is, of course, subject to change when the TV schedule is announced.
This information should be published by Wednesday 15 October, according to the Premier League, and they have already confirmed some matches will switch to the traditional date for live broadcast.
It has also been stated that no club will be requested to play less than 48 hours between gameweeks 18 and 19 and each team has a home fixture on either 27 December or 3 January, to reduce travel.
As a result, on 27 December, we are pencilled in to face Newcastle United at Old Trafford and the Magpies have become regular opponents around this time of year.
They were our Boxing-Day rivals in 2012, 2014 and 2019, while we also drew 1-1 at St James' Park on 27 December 2021, with Edinson Cavani scoring our goal.
Even last year, the Tynesiders were our final opponents of 2024, winning 2-0 at Old Trafford on 30 December.
