The Premier League has today revealed the fixture list for the 2022-23 campaign, which for Chelsea begins with a trip to Everton, the team of Blues legend Frank Lampard.
During the back end of 2021-22, Lampard led the Toffees to a 1-0 win against his former club which ultimately contributed to the Merseyside outfit avoiding relegation from the top flight.
Thomas Tuchel will be expecting more from his team this time around, and the West Londoners face a testing start with a rejuvenated Tottenham Hotspur their opponents on the following weekend.
Chelsea encounter Liverpool on September 17, but they will have to wait until the New Year to square off against defending champions Manchester City.
A trip to the Etihad Stadium represents their penultimate fixture before Chelsea play host to Newcastle United on the final day of the season.
