The Premier League has today revealed the fixture list for the 2023-24 campaign, which for Chelsea begins with a high-profile showdown with Liverpool.
Ahead of a season without European football, Mauricio Pochettino and Chelsea's supporters would have been eagerly anticipating their schedule for next season, and they have been provided with the fixture of the opening weekend against Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.
Chelsea avoid each of the other members of the so-called 'Big Six' until after the October international break, where they resume the action versus Arsenal.
Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Newcastle United all feature in a stellar November, followed by games with Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester United respectively.
Crystal Palace travel to Stamford Bridge on Boxing Day, the away game with champions Man City is February 17 and the closing contest is a home meeting with Bournemouth.
