Chelsea to begin defence of Premier League title against Burnley

Premier League 2017-18 fixtures are announced, and champions Chelsea face Burnley on the opening weekend.

Premier League champions Chelsea will begin the defence of their title with a home clash against Burnley on the opening weekend of the 2017-18 season.

The fixtures for the upcoming campaign have been announced, with newly-promoted Newcastle United, Brighton & Hove Albion and Huddersfield Town discovering who they will face in the top flight.

Last season's runners-up Tottenham Hotspur will go head to head with Newcastle at St James' Park on the opening weekend, while Pep Guardiola's Manchester City will take on a new boy - Brighton - away.

Liverpool, who sealed a top-four place last season, will also begin their campaign on the road as they play Watford, but Arsenal and Manchester United have been handed home matches against Leicester City and West Ham United respectively.

United and City will play the first Manchester derby of the season on December 9 at Old Trafford, and Jose Mourinho's men will travel to the Etihad Stadium on April 7.

Arch enemies Liverpool and United will go head to head at Anfield on October 14, with the reverse fixture being hosted by the Red Devils on March 10.

November 25 is scheduled to host the first North London derby of the season, with Arsenal welcoming Tottenham Hotspur to the Emirates and Arsene Wenger's men travelling to Wembley on February 24.
