Chelsea FC news: How Blues could line up on first day of the Premier League season against Burnley

The Premier League fixtures have been released, meaning Chelsea finally know who they will be starting their title defence against.

The Blues, crowned champions last season, host Burnley at Stamford Bridge on the opening day and will be looking to get off to a winning start.

However, Antonio Conte will be without star attacker Eden Hazard when the Clarets visit west London as he had to undergo surgery on his ankle after suffering an injury while on international duty.

But despite Hazard missing out, Conte is likely to field a starting line up featuring new signings made over the summer transfer window.
