A new era for Chelsea will begin with a chance to end one of their most frustrating Premier League sequences.
The Blues will travel to Everton in Week 1 of the campaign, with the match picked for the late kick-off slot on the Saturday. It means Chelsea are likely to face a raucous atmosphere similar to their 1-0 loss at Goodison Park last season - that was their fourth defeat at the Toffees in a row.
Manager Thomas Tuchel will be hopeful that some new faces help refresh the team after their jaded end to the campaign. With key players moving on and gaps in the squad to fill, there is plenty of work to do before the season kicks off on Merseyside.
