It's no ordinary season as far as football clubs are concerned – and Chelsea are no different.
With the World Cup going ahead in the winter, during the season, there have been drastic changes to the schedule. Teams have now been asked to essentially cram loads of fixtures in beforehand and afterwards, with over a month of international football due to kick off in a few weeks' time.
So, for Chelsea, they will play nine matches – in all competitions – over October. In no particular order; the Blues face trips to Crystal Palace, AC Milan, Aston Villa, Brentford, Red Bull Salzburg and Brighton & Hove Albion, while they host Milan, Wolves and Manchester United.
