The Blues take on Brighton on September 14 in their opening Premier League match.
It's now just a few days until Chelsea get their 2020/21 Premier League campaign under way.
The Blues make the trip to Brighton & Hove Albion on September 14 looking to start the new season on a high.
Chelsea have made major inroads in the transfer market and strengthened hugely over the course of the window, and they might not be done yet.

Frank Lampard will be trying to prepare his players for the match at the AMEX Stadium on Monday night.
But what is the latest injury news ahead of the game?
Ben Chilwell
The new signing arrived to the club with a heel injury that he was carrying over from the end of the 2019/20 season with Leicester City.
The 23-year-old has been doing some individual training at Cobham in order to be fit and to make his debut for the club.
However, the England international is not expected to be fit in time for the opening game of the campaign at the AMEX Stadium.
Reece James
There is going to be a lot of expectation on Reece James in the coming season after having a breakout year in the Chelsea first team.
However, the 20-year-old had to pull out of England U21s duty with a knock, despite having trained with the Chelsea first team.
The right-back is expected to return for the trip to the south coast, with the injury not a serious one.
Hakim Ziyech
The 27-year-old showed flashes of what he could do in the pre-season friendly at Brighton last weekend, including an excellent cross which led to the goal.
However, there was a worry for the Moroccan when he went down with a knee injury, with Frank Lampard stating it was a 'small twist.
The winger is now a doubt for the opening match of the campaign and Lampard is likely to have to wait for the Liverpool match at the earliest to have him in the squad.
Christian Pulisic
The American was the brightest spark for the Blues when football returned at the end of the campaign.
He scored in the FA Cup final, before going down with a hamstring problem just before having a shot on goal.
However, according to The Athletic, Pulisic should be back in time to face the opening game of the campaign.
Thiago Silva
The Brazilian has arrived at Chelsea on a free transfer and is now in London ahead of his potential debut on Monday.
The 35-year-old will be going through the usual COVID testing procedures before training with the rest of the first team.
But Thiago should be part of the squad for the trip to the south coast.
