Tottenham's intriguing Christmas fixtures compared to London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal

Tottenham will have to travel to Nottingham Forest for their Boxing Day game, unlike rivals Chelsea and Arsenal, who will host Fulham and Ipswich at Stamford Bridge and the Emirates respectively. This marks the third consecutive season that the Lilywhites will be away on Boxing Day, a crucial period for defining the season due to the cold weather and frequent matches.

However, Tottenham can take solace in ending the season at home against Brighton and Hove Albion, the first time in six years they will conclude their campaign in North London. The last home finale was in their first season back at the new Tottenham Stadium after leaving Wembley.

Tottenham finished fifth last season, securing Europa League football at Chelsea's expense, who will now compete in the Europa Conference League. Manchester United, despite finishing eighth, won the FA Cup and claimed the other Europa League spot. Arsenal narrowly missed the title and will aim to win their first league title since 2004.
