## Resource

Chelsea’s new era kicks off with fire — Xabi Alonso’s first season is loaded with brutal fixtures, starting with a London derby against Fulham and a relentless run against Arsenal, Spurs, and Man Utd before October. No European distractions means pure domestic pressure, and fans are demanding trophies. December brings the ultimate test: hosting Liverpool, then traveling to face City — possibly with Enzo Maresca in charge. The schedule flips later, with City coming to Stamford Bridge in April and Liverpool visiting in May. February’s Old Trafford trip, March’s Arsenal rematch, and May’s away games at Spurs and Everton add to the grind. The season ends with a home clash against Brentford. Alonso’s mission? Dominate domestically — and prove Chelsea can still be kings. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
