Chelsea start the 2016/17 Premier League campaign against West Ham at Stamford Bridge on August 13th.

The clash will be Antonio Conte's first competitive game in charge of the Blues following his official arrival after Italy's Euro 2016 campaign in July.

Conte will take the reins at Stamford Bridge after a disastrous title defence last term cost Jose Mourinho his job in December. A draw on the opening day of last season at home to Swansea was overshadowed by Mourinho's spat with club doctor Eva Carneiro - the beginning of his demise - but the result proved no flash in the pan as the Blues struggled to pull away from the relegation zone before Christmas.

Home defeats to Crystal Palace, Southampton and Bournemouth were particularly notable as Chelsea limped towards a 10th-place finish, but optimism has returned to west London as Conte prepares for his first crack at English football.
