Chelsea
manager Antonio Conte will start his first Premier League campaign with a
home London derby as West Ham visit Stamford Bridge on the opening weekend
of the season.
The Blues will then make the short trip to Watford the following weekend
before hosting Championship champions Burnley in a relatively low-key start
for the Italian in England.
Jose Mourinho is set to return to Stamford Bridge on October 22 when Chelsea
host the Portuguese's new side Manchester United, the week after a home game
against champions Leicester City.
The Blues' visit to Old Trafford for the return fixture against United will
not take place until April 15, while their only scheduled midweek game at
home is against Manchester City on April 5.
Chelsea will also finish the season with a home game when Sunderland head to
west London on Sunday May 21.
