The fixtures for the 2019/20 Premier League season have been released and we have all the details of who Chelsea are playing when.

It’s a blockbusting opening fixture for the Blues as we travel to Old Trafford on the opening weekend of the season to meet Manchester United.

Who do Chelsea play after Manchester United?

Our first home fixture is against Leicester City before we head to East Anglia to take on promoted Norwich City. August concludes with a home game against another side that came up from the Championship, Sheffield United.

When are the big London derbies?

We travel to Tottenham and Arsenal in consecutive away fixtures either side of Christmas. Our first visit to Spurs’ new stadium is currently scheduled for 21 December, with the trip to the Emirates a week later.
We host Arsenal not long after on 22 January, while Tottenham are at the Bridge on 22 February

When do Chelsea meet Manchester City and host Manchester United?

Our fixtures against the champions Man City are scheduled for 23 November (away) and 21 March (home), while we will host Man United on either 8 February or 15 February.
That is because of the inaugural mid-season player break. The Premier League will split one round of matches in February over two weekends, with five matches on the weekend commencing 8 February and five on the weekend commencing 15 February. The split of the matches will be decided when the UK broadcast picks for the month of February are announced.

And what about Chelsea’s Premier League games against Liverpool?

Liverpool visit Stamford Bridge on 21 September, while our trip to Anfield is our last away game of the season on 9 May.

What are our Premier League games after the six Champions League group stage matches?

We play Liverpool, Crystal Palace, West Ham and Bournemouth at home after European fixtures, and also Southampton and Burnley away. The latter two games are both in October.
Between the Tottenham and Arsenal away games we welcome Southampton to Stamford Bridge on Boxing Day. It’s off to the South Coast on New Year’s Day to play Brighton.

England suffered more semi-final disapointment as they produced a defensive horror show

England suffered more semi-final disappointment as they produced a defensive horror show to crash out of the Nations League to the impressive Netherlands in Guimaraes. Marcus Rashford's penalty, awarded after he was fouled by Matthijs de Ligt, gave Gareth Southgate's side an interval advantage. De Ligt made amends when he took advantage of poor marking at a corner to power home a header with 17 minutes left. England thought substitute Jesse Lingard's late strike had put them on course for the inaugural Nations League final against hosts Portugal in Porto on Sunday, only for VAR to intervene and rule it out for offside. The Dutch were the far superior side but they were gifted their route to the showdown against Portugal on Sunday by suicidal defending in extra time by England, who were hoping to go one better than their World Cup semi-final exit against Croatia last summer. John Stones was caught in possession by Memphis Depay who forced a brilliant sav...

Without Neymar, Brazil won Copa America

  Brazil winning a Copa América at home cannot be said to be a surprise. They have hosted the tournament five times and, after beating Peru 3-1 in the final on Sunday, they have won it five times. But to suggest this was some sort of procession, a pacing out of the inevitable, would be misleading, and would ignore why, 12 years after Brazil’s last success in a major competition, this felt so significant. It is not just that this showed Brazil could handle being favourites, that they did not choke on the expectation as they did so spectacularly in the World Cup five years ago. It’s that they won with a largely modern, progressive style of play and, most importantly of all, that they did so without the injured Neymar. This was a victory for Tite and all for which he stands. Brazil’s defeat against Peru in Foxborough three years ago, which eliminated them from the Copa América Centenario at the group stage, was the beginning of Brazil’s belated shift into modern...
