The latest round of Premier League fixtures have been chopped and changed to allow for television coverage.
All games over the festive period are being shown, meaning all games have to be spread out as not to overlap.
That has created even more issues for a packed schedule, which has already been criticised by several top Prem managers included Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola and counterpart Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
However, the busiest time of the season just got even more jam-packed, with some clubs given considerably more time than others to recover between games.
So who were the winners and who were the losers after the television fixture list announcement?
Winners
Man Utd
Manchester United are set to play a total of nine games in the month of December due to their Champions League and Carabao Cup commitments.
Fortunately for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, they have been blessed with an extra day to prepare from their Boxing Day clash against Leicester before they host Wolves three days later.
The Norwegian famously slammed the scheduling earlier this season, but might be thinking twice if his side get stiffed again.
Liverpool
Liverpool are another of the sides to benefit from an extra day off between Christmas and New Year.
Klopp was also critical of the fixture pile up this season, and league bosses have handed him and his depleted squad something of a lifeline.
Of course, they still have two Champions League games to get through as well next month, meaning they will play a total of eight games in December.
Newcastle and Fulham
Newcastle and Fulham are the only two clubs to get four days off between Christmas and New Year, while others have just two.
The two clubs have some tricky fixtures over the next month, so the break will give them some welcome relief.
Losers
Man City
The Sky Blues bid to get their season back on track has taken a big hit after Pep Guardiola was handed a Christmas fixture pile-up.
Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United have all been given an extra day to recover over the festive period.
City face Newcastle on Boxing Day before travelling to Everton on December 28.
Wolves
Wolves have been handed a pretty rough ride over the festive period.
Nuno’s men now have less than 48 hours between finishing at home to Spurs on December 27 and then heading to Man Utd, who have an extra 30 hours to prepare.
Their December schedule is otherwise quite nicely spread out.
Chelsea
Frank Lampard has been left scratching his head after the Blues were handed a chocka Christmas calendar.
The Blues go to Arsenal on Boxing Day - and then entertain Aston Villa just 48 hours later.
Chelsea will be hoping they can get through the run of games without too much harm to their Champions League and Premier League hopes.
