Chelsea first up for Spurs

LONDON - Premier League champion Chelsea will be the first opponent for runner-up Tottenham at its temporary home of Wembley on the second weekend of the 2017-18 EPL campaign.

The match schedule was published on Wednesday.

Spurs - beaten by Chelsea in their FA Cup semifinal at Wembley and losers of two of their four European matches last season when they played 'home' matches there instead of White Hart Lane - are using Wembley while their new stadium is being built in north London.
