Xabi Alonso’s tenure at Chelsea begins with a short trip to west London rivals Fulham on the opening day of the 2026\/27 Premier League season. An early visit to reigning champions Arsenal arrives as soon as gameweek three. Chelsea remain in London until mid-October, when they travel to Merseyside to face Everton. A busy October then features home games against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United.<\/p>\n
Alonso’s first meeting with former employers Liverpool comes at Stamford Bridge in early December, immediately followed by a trip to face Manchester City, expected to be led by former Blues boss Enzo Maresca. Those fixtures are reversed across the final week of April and the first week of May, when Chelsea will travel to Anfield and host Manchester City.<\/p>\n
Chelsea travel to Old Trafford to face Man Utd in February and host Arsenal in mid-March. May brings a trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The season runs toward its conclusion with visits to Everton and Bournemouth followed by a final-day meeting at home with Brentford.<\/p>\n
