The Premier League has announced that the 2024-25 season will commence on August 17 and conclude on May 25, with a major decision to not hold fixtures on Christmas Eve, likely influenced by past complaints from fixtures like Wolves vs. Chelsea. In the current season, the Christmas Eve match between Wolves and Chelsea was the first since 1995, when Manchester United was beaten 3-1 by Leeds. In the recent match, Mario Lemina's goal put Wolves ahead, marking the first Premier League Christmas Eve goal since 1995. Wolves' Dawson suffered an injury, needing assistance off the field with a dressing on his left knee, while Lemina battled through a neck/chest injury to continue playing.
Dawson being helped down the tunnel now with some kind of dressing on or near his left knee. Unable to put any weight on his left leg. Lemina has seemed to struggle with a neck/chest injury too, but he's playing on. #WWFC https://t.co/ajbJg6ItiR
