The first home game will see the Blues entertain champions Liverpool on following weekend (19th/20th September).

London derbies are aplenty with Crystal Palace the first as they visit the Bridge on 3rd October. Tottenham are the visitors on 28th November. However, there will be a long wait until we come up against newly promoted neighbours Fulham. The 16th January fixture sees Chelsea make the short trip to Craven cottage, with the return on 1st May.
