Chelsea won’t have to leave London for their first SIX Premier League fixtures next season 🏟️❌
A dream start for Xabi Alonso ✅
Chelsea fans, take note — the Blues won’t have to step outside London for their opening six Premier League fixtures next season, a dream start for new boss Xabi Alonso.
According to LiveScore, Chelsea face Fulham away, host Brighton, travel to Arsenal, welcome Hull City, head to Brentford, then host Bournemouth — all London-based clashes to kick off the campaign.
It’s a soft landing for Alonso as he begins his Stamford Bridge reign, with London derbies dominating the early schedule and minimal travel disruption for players settling into a new system.
Six games, zero road trips outside the capital — about as gentle a start as a new manager could hope for.
