Premier League champion Chelsea will be the first visitor to Tottenham’s temporary home of Wembley Stadium as part of a tough-looking start to its title defense. The Premier League schedule for the 2017-18 season was published Wednesday, with Chelsea playing Burnley at home in the opening round in mid-August. Tottenham, which was runner-up to Chelsea last season, is playing its home games in the Premier League at Wembley this season while a new stadium is being constructed on the site of the club’s old White Hart Lane. In the opening round, Brighton’s first ever Premier League game is at home against Man City, while Huddersfield’s first top-tier game since 1972 is at Crystal Palace. The Premier League season begins on Aug. 12.
