THE CHAMPION OF ENGLAND ⚽
Chelsea 2017-18 preview: Transfers, full squad, fixtures, shirt numbers & tickets
Jul 28, 2017 5:52 PM
The Blues will have more games to play this term and more stern competition as their rivals look to snatch league glory away from them
Chelsea head into the 2017-18 season as defending Premier League champions with Champions League football to look forward to as Antonio Conte gets ready for his second campaign in England.
The former Italy and Juventus boss rejuvenated the Blues in his first season at the helm of the Stamford Bridge club and narrowly missed out on a double as his side lost out to Arsenal in the FA Cup final.
The new season brings with it new challenges and Conte must guide his team through one more competition as they return to Europe's top table in the Champions League, but he may be without the likes of Diego Costa and Nemanja Matic, who were not part of the club's pre-season plans.
Nevertheless, with new faces brought in, Chelsea fans will be optimistic that the Italian coach can build on the foundation he set last term and there have been positive signs with impressive performances coming against Arsenal and Bayern Munich on their Asia tour.
Competitive action resumes on August 6 against the Gunners in the Community Shield, with league action getting under way at home to Burnley a week after that. With those games looming on the horizon, Goal has your complete guide to the new Chelsea campaign.
CHELSEA TRANSFERS
Morata Chelsea Bayern
Chelsea have splashed out to bring in a number of players during the summer transfer window, spending over £144 million so far. Alvaro Morata has arrived for a hefty £70m from Real Madrid and Tiemoue Bakayoko was a £40m acquisition from Monaco. Antonio Rudiger has bolstered the defensive options at a cost of £34m from Roma, while Willy Caballero joined on free from Manchester City.
Plenty of players have gone in the opposite direction, too, with the most notable departure perhaps that of John Terry, who left for Aston Villa on a free transfer. Juan Cuadrado and Christian Atsu made permanent moves to Juventus and Newcastle respectively, while Bournemouth forked out £20m for Nathan Ake. In addition, the Blues have sent a host of players out on loan to various clubs.
