Chelsea Handed Home Premier League Opener

The fixtures for the 2017/18 Premier League season have been announced, and the defence of our title will begin with a game against Burnley at Stamford Bridge.

It will be the second time in recent years we have played the Clarets in our first match, having won 3-1 at Turf Moor in 2014/15.

That game is followed by our first London derby of the campaign, away against Tottenham Hotspur, as the top two from last season meet. With the north London side playing their home matches at Wembley during 2017/18 we will be hoping for a similar result to the last meeting between the teams at the national stadium, our 4-2 FA Cup semi-final victory in April. We have won our past three matches against Tottenham at Wembley.
