Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino says the players will train Christmas Day.
Chelsea visit Wolves on Sunday before hosting Crystal Palace on December 27.
Pochettino said: "We are going to train on the 25th. We cannot stop as we have another game on the 27th.
"I am not going to complain but Palace played on Thursday against Brighton. We cannot stop because the players need to understand there's a very short space for recovery."
Pochettino added: "If all of us play 24th and all of us play 27th, then we are in the same circumstances.
"There's a difference in recovery. I'm not going to complain but the organisation should be better because it's not fair."
