English side, Chelsea, will travel to Old Trafford to face rivals, Manchester United, on the opening weekend of the English Premier League.

The match would take place on August 11 and will be an early test of each team’s ambition.

Chelsea will travel to United without Belgian forward, Eden Hazard, who completed a mega-move to Spanish giants, Real Madrid, last week.

The London side will then take on Leicester the following weekend as they return to the home comforts of Stamford Bridge.

Champions, Manchester City, will start the defence of their Premier League title at West Ham.
