How Manchester United's Christmas fixtures compare to Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City

Manchester United's festive fixture list offers two evening kick offs including a Boxing Day trip to Wolves at 5.30pm as part of a bumper schedule.

Should United beat Leicester City in the Carabao Cup fourth round, they will have a quarter-final sandwiched between the Manchester derby on December 15 and their final Premier League game before Christmas against Bournemouth on December 21.

Their Carabao Cup quarter-final is guaranteed to be played on Wednesday, December 18, leaving them two days worth of preparation for the the cup clash and then two days to prepare for the clash with Bournemouth. They will then have four days to rest and recover ahead of facing Wolves at Molineux on Boxing Day at 5.30pm.
