BLUES TRAVEL TO BURNLEY TO KICK OFF BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE

According to  www.chelseafc.com/

The Barclays Premier League fixtures for the 2014/15 season have been announced and two freshly promoted teams will be our first opponents.

Jose Mourinho and his squad will head north to Burnley on the opening weekend before our first home game a week later when we host Leicester City.

Our fifth league fixture takes us to champions Manchester City, scene of a famous victory last season, with the home game against City scheduled for the end of January.

We face away games against Manchester United and Liverpool in quick succession in late October/early November, with home London derbies against Arsenal, QPR and Tottenham all taking place before Christmas.

We host West Ham on Boxing Day with Southampton away and Tottenham away other fixtures over the festive period.

In the final weeks of the season, Manchester United at home is followed by Arsenal away and then two home games - versus Crystal Palace and Liverpool.

A trip to West Bromwich is the final away game with the last game of the league season taking place at Stamford Bridge when Sunderland will be the visitors.

Please note: All these fixtures are subject to change due to live television selections and the impact of other competitions on the schedule. Changes to dates for the matches in August through to November are expected to be announced by 4 July.
