On 12 August, Chelsea suffered a nightmare start to their Premier League title defence, losing 3–2 at home to [[Burnley F.C.|Burnley]], who had only won once away from home in the previous season.

On 27 August, Chelsea won their first Premier League home game of the 2017–18 season, by defeating [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] 2–0 in a dominant display that the Blues could have won by more goals. Cesc Fábregas opened the scoring in the 27th minute, coolly clipping into the bottom corner and past keeper [[Jordan Pickford]], with the help of Álvaro Morata who claimed his second assist of the season. Morata would later add to Chelsea's goal tally with a header in the 40th minute, scoring his second league goal of the season. The Blues had many opportunities throughout the game to extend their lead but ultimately won comfortably in a convincing performance that lifted them to 6th in the table after three games.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40990428|title=Chelsea 2–0 Everton|publisher=BBC Sport|date=27 August 2017}}</ref>

Chelsea signed two players, the first of these being Italian right-back [[Davide Zappacosta]] from [[Torino F.C.|Torino]], who joined for a reported £23 million fee.<ref>{{cite web|title=Zappacosta signs |url=http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/08/zappacosta-signs.html |publisher=Chelsea Official Site |date=31 August 2017 |accessdate=31 August 2017}}</ref> Chelsea's second deadline day signing was [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]] midfielder [[Daniel Drinkwater|Danny Drinkwater]], who arrived for an undisclosed fee and signed a five-year contract with the Blues.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/08/drinkwater-joins-chelsea.html|title=Drinkwater joins Chelsea|publisher=Chelsea Official Site |date=1 September 2017 |accessdate=1 September 2017}}</ref>
In spite of several signings arriving at the club, it was a turbulent deadline day for the Blues, in that several of their transfer targets were missed. The most notable of these was Chelsea's attempt to sign [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] midfielder [[Ross Barkley]], agreeing a fee with Everton only for Barkley to reject the move.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41119055|title=Ross Barkley rejects Chelsea transfer|publisher=BBC Sport|date=31 August 2017}}</ref> Another English transfer target, [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] midfielder [[Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain]], also rejected a move to Chelsea after a fee had been agreed between the two clubs, with Oxlade-Chamberlain instead choosing a move to [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] on deadline day.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41077833|title=Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: Arsenal man turns down £40m Chelsea move|publisher=BBC Sport|date=29 August 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41098529 |title=Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: Liverpool sign Arsenal midfielder for £35m |work=[[BBC Sport]] |date=31 August 2017 |accessdate=31 August 2017}}</ref> The Blues had also reportedly been close to signing [[Swansea City A.F.C.|Swansea City]] striker [[Fernando Llorente]] at one point throughout deadline day, only to miss out on signing him to their rivals [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41107780|title=Tottenham complete signing of Fernando Llorente|publisher=BBC Sport|date=31 August 2017}}</ref>
===September===
On 1 September, [[Loic Remy]] left the club and signed for [[La Liga]] club [[UD Las Palmas|Las Palmas]] on a 2 year contract on a reported free transfer. <ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/09/remy-moves-on.html|title=Remy moves on|publisher=Chelsea Official Site |date=1 September 2017 |accessdate=1 September 2017}}</ref>
On 9 September, Chelsea earned a 2–1 away victory at Leicester City making it a third Premier League victory in a row. [[N'Golo Kanté|Kanté]] scored the second goal for the Blues against his former club. [[Davide Zappacosta]] made his debut for Chelsea while [[Eden Hazard]] returned from injury, coming on as a substitute.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41133348 |title=Leicester City 1-2 Chelsea |date=9 September 2017 |publisher=BBC Sports}}</ref>
On 12 September, Chelsea marked their return to the Champions League with a 6–0 thrashing of Azerbaijani champions [[FK Qarabag|Qarabag]], who made their first ever appearance in Europe's elite competition. Goals from Pedro, [[Cesar Azpilicueta]], [[Tiemoue Bakayoko]], [[Michy Batshuayi]] as well as a goal from [[Davide Zappacosta]] on his first start for Chelsea and an own goal by Qarabag player Medvedev, sent the Blues to the top of their group after the first round of fixtures.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41216361|title=Chelsea 6–0 Qarabag|publisher=BBC Sport|date=12 September 2017}}</ref>
On 17 September, Chelsea hosted rivals [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] at Stamford Bridge, who managed to emerge with a point by drawing 0–0 with the Blues. It was a frustrating game for Chelsea, who created several opportunities to score but could not find a cutting edge against a well-drilled Arsenal side. The game was also marred by [[David Luiz]] receiving a red card in the second half for a high tackle on [[Sead Kolasinac]], with the defender set to miss Chelsea's next three games as a result. His red card amounts to Chelsea's third red card of the season. The result sees the Blues remaining in third place, three points behind joint leaders [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] and [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41216718|title=Chelsea 0–0 Arsenal|publisher=BBC Sport|date=17 September 2017}}</ref>
On 20 September, Chelsea hosted [[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]] in the third round of [[2017–18 EFL Cup|Carabao Cup]]. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41216361 |title=Chelsea 6-0 Qarabag |date=12 September 2017 |publisher=BBC Sport}}</ref>

[[File:Chelsea v burnley 3 2017.jpg|thumb|Chelsea take to the pitch at Stamford Bridge for the first home game of the 2017-18 season, August 2017]]
===August===
On 2 August, [[Mario Pašalić]] signed a four year contract extension & joined Russian champions [[FC Spartak Moscow|Spartak Moscow]] on a season long loan.
On 6 August, Chelsea lost the [[2017 FA Community Shield|Community Shield]] 4-1 on penalties to [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] after drawing 1-1 in normal time.<ref>https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/08/community-shield-report--.html </ref>
On 11 August, young English midfielder [[Lewis Baker (footballer)|Lewis Baker]] signed a new five-year contract with Chelsea, simultaneously completing a season-long loan move to [[EFL Championship|Championship]] club [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/08/new-contract-and-loan-for-baker.html|title=New Contract and Loan for Baker|publisher=Chelsea Football Club Official Site|date=11 August 2017}}</ref>
On 12 August, Chelsea suffered a nightmare start to their Premier League title defence, losing 3–2 at home to [[Burnley F.C.|Burnley]], who had only won once away from home in the previous season. Chelsea's performance was marred by two of their players receiving red cards, the first being captain [[Gary Cahill]] in the early stages of the game, and the second being [[Cesc Fàbregas]] towards the closing stages of the game. The Blues fought back from 3–0 down with goals from debutant [[Álvaro Morata]] and [[David Luiz]],
but ultimately lost the game.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40835426|title=Chelsea 2–3 Burnley|publisher=BBC Sport|date=12 August 2017}}</ref> The defeat drew parallels to [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]]'s 2015–16 title defence, where Leicester also lost their opening match against [[Hull City A.F.C.|Hull City]] at home, who were eventually relegated.
On 20 August, Chelsea bounced back from their disappointing defeat with a 2–1 away victory over [[Tottenham Hotspur]] at their temporary home, [[Wembley Stadium]]. [[Marcos Alonso Mendoza]] scored a double, his first goal being a free kick and his second a strike late in the game, while Spurs scored through an own goal from [[Michy Batshuayi]]. The win for Chelsea condemned Tottenham to defeat in their first home game of the season, and their first at Wembley in the Premier League.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40914668|title= Tottenham 1–2 Chelsea|publisher=BBC Sport|date=20 August 2017}}</ref>
On 25 August, [[Nigerian]] defender [[Kenneth Omeruo]] signed a new three-year contract with Chelsea, simultaneously completing a season-long loan move to [[Turkey|Turkish]] club [[Kasımpaşa S.K.]], where he had previously been on loan at in the 2015/16 campaign.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/08/new-contract-and-loan-for-omeruo.html|title=New Contract and Loan for Omeruo|publisher=Chelsea Football Club Official Site|date=25 August 2017}}</ref>
On 27 August, Chelsea won their first Premier League home game of the 2017–18 season, by defeating [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] 2–0 in a dominant display that the Blues could have won by more goals. Cesc Fábregas opened the scoring in the 27th minute, coolly clipping into the bottom corner and past keeper [[Jordan Pickford]], with the help of Álvaro Morata who claimed his second assist of the season. Morata would later add to Chelsea's goal tally with a header in the 40th minute, scoring his second league goal of the season. The Blues had many opportunities throughout the game to extend their lead but ultimately won comfortably in a convincing performance that lifted them to 6th in the table after three games.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40990428|title=Chelsea 2–0 Everton|publisher=BBC Sport|date=27 August 2017}}</ref>
On 28 August, young [[Côte d'Ivoire|Ivorian]] attacker [[Jérémie Boga]] signed a new three-year contract with Chelsea, and also joined [[EFL Championship|Championship]] club [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]] on a season-long loan.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/08/new-contract-and-loan-for-boga.html|title=New contract and loan for Boga|publisher=Chelsea Football Club Official Site|date=28 August 2017}}</ref>
====Deadline Day (31 August)====
Chelsea signed two players, the first of these being Italian right-back [[Davide Zappacosta]] from [[Torino F.C.|Torino]], who joined for a reported £23 million fee.<ref>{{cite web|title=Zappacosta signs |url=http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/08/zappacosta-signs.html |publisher=Chelsea Official Site |date=31 August 2017 |accessdate=31 August 2017}}</ref> Chelsea's second deadline day signing was [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]] midfielder [[Daniel Drinkwater|Danny Drinkwater]], who arrived for an undisclosed fee and signed a five-year contract with the Blues.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/08/drinkwater-joins-chelsea.html|title=Drinkwater joins Chelsea|publisher=Chelsea Official Site |date=1 September 2017 |accessdate=1 September 2017}}</ref>
In spite of several signings arriving at the club, it was a turbulent deadline day for the Blues, in that several of their transfer targets were missed. The most notable of these was Chelsea's attempt to sign [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] midfielder [[Ross Barkley]], agreeing a fee with Everton only for Barkley to reject the move.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41119055|title=Ross Barkley rejects Chelsea transfer|publisher=BBC Sport|date=31 August 2017}}</ref> Another English transfer target, [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] midfielder [[Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain]], also rejected a move to Chelsea after a fee had been agreed between the two clubs, with Oxlade-Chamberlain instead choosing a move to [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] on deadline day.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41077833|title=Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: Arsenal man turns down £40m Chelsea move|publisher=BBC Sport|date=29 August 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41098529 |title=Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: Liverpool sign Arsenal midfielder for £35m |work=[[BBC Sport]] |date=31 August 2017 |accessdate=31 August 2017}}</ref> The Blues had also reportedly been close to signing [[Swansea City A.F.C.|Swansea City]] striker [[Fernando Llorente]] at one point throughout deadline day, only to miss out on signing him to their rivals [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41107780|title=Tottenham complete signing of Fernando Llorente|publisher=BBC Sport|date=31 August 2017}}</ref>
===September===
On 1 September, [[Loic Remy]] left the club and signed for [[La Liga]] club [[UD Las Palmas|Las Palmas]] on a 2 year contract on a reported free transfer. <ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/09/remy-moves-on.html|title=Remy moves on|publisher=Chelsea Official Site |date=1 September 2017 |accessdate=1 September 2017}}</ref>
On 9 September, Chelsea earned a 2–1 away victory at Leicester City making it a third Premier League victory in a row. [[N'Golo Kanté|Kanté]] scored the second goal for the Blues against his former club. [[Davide Zappacosta]] made his debut for Chelsea while [[Eden Hazard]] returned from injury, coming on as a substitute.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41133348 |title=Leicester City 1-2 Chelsea |date=9 September 2017 |publisher=BBC Sports}}</ref>
On 12 September, Chelsea marked their return to the Champions League with a 6–0 thrashing of Azerbaijani champions [[FK Qarabag|Qarabag]], who made their first ever appearance in Europe's elite competition. Goals from Pedro, [[Cesar Azpilicueta]], [[Tiemoue Bakayoko]], [[Michy Batshuayi]] as well as a goal from [[Davide Zappacosta]] on his first start for Chelsea and an own goal by Qarabag player Medvedev, sent the Blues to the top of their group after the first round of fixtures.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41216361|title=Chelsea 6–0 Qarabag|publisher=BBC Sport|date=12 September 2017}}</ref>
On 17 September, Chelsea hosted rivals [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] at Stamford Bridge, who managed to emerge with a point by drawing 0–0 with the Blues. It was a frustrating game for Chelsea, who created several opportunities to score but could not find a cutting edge against a well-drilled Arsenal side. The game was also marred by [[David Luiz]] receiving a red card in the second half for a high tackle on [[Sead Kolasinac]], with the defender set to miss Chelsea's next three games as a result. His red card amounts to Chelsea's third red card of the season. The result sees the Blues remaining in third place, three points behind joint leaders [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] and [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41216718|title=Chelsea 0–0 Arsenal|publisher=BBC Sport|date=17 September 2017}}</ref>
On 20 September, Chelsea hosted [[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]] in the third round of [[2017–18 EFL Cup|Carabao Cup]]. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41216361 |title=Chelsea 6-0 Qarabag |date=12 September 2017 |publisher=BBC Sport}}</ref>

On 27 August, Chelsea won their first Premier League home game of the 2017–18 season, by defeating [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] 2–0 in a dominant display that the Blues could have won by more goals. Cesc Fábregas opened the scoring in the 27th minute, coolly clipping into the bottom corner and past keeper [[Jordan Pickford]], with the help of Álvaro Morata who claimed his second assist of the season. Morata would later add to Chelsea's goal tally with a header in the 40th minute, scoring his second league goal of the season. The Blues had many opportunities throughout the game to extend their lead but ultimately won comfortably in a convincing performance that lifted them to 6th in the table after three games.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40990428|title=Chelsea 2–0 Everton|publisher=BBC Sport|date=27 August 2017}}</ref>
On 28 August, young [[Côte d'Ivoire|Ivorian]] attacker [[Jérémie Boga]] signed a new three-year contract with Chelsea, and also joined [[EFL Championship|Championship]] club [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]] on a season-long loan.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/08/new-contract-and-loan-for-boga.html|title=New contract and loan for Boga|publisher=Chelsea Football Club Official Site|date=28 August 2017}}</ref>
====Deadline Day (31 August)====
Chelsea signed two players, the first of these being Italian right-back [[Davide Zappacosta]] from [[Torino F.C.|Torino]], who joined for a reported £23 million fee.<ref>{{cite web|title=Zappacosta signs |url=http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/08/zappacosta-signs.html |publisher=Chelsea Official Site |date=31 August 2017 |accessdate=31 August 2017}}</ref> Chelsea's second deadline day signing was [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]] midfielder [[Daniel Drinkwater|Danny Drinkwater]], who arrived for an undisclosed fee and signed a five-year contract with the Blues.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/08/drinkwater-joins-chelsea.html|title=Drinkwater joins Chelsea|publisher=Chelsea Official Site |date=1 September 2017 |accessdate=1 September 2017}}</ref>
In spite of several signings arriving at the club, it was a turbulent deadline day for the Blues, in that several of their transfer targets were missed. The most notable of these was Chelsea's attempt to sign [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] midfielder [[Ross Barkley]], agreeing a fee with Everton only for Barkley to reject the move.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41119055|title=Ross Barkley rejects Chelsea transfer|publisher=BBC Sport|date=31 August 2017}}</ref> Another English transfer target, [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] midfielder [[Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain]], also rejected a move to Chelsea after a fee had been agreed between the two clubs, with Oxlade-Chamberlain instead choosing a move to [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] on deadline day.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41077833|title=Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: Arsenal man turns down £40m Chelsea move|publisher=BBC Sport|date=29 August 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41098529 |title=Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: Liverpool sign Arsenal midfielder for £35m |work=[[BBC Sport]] |date=31 August 2017 |accessdate=31 August 2017}}</ref> The Blues had also reportedly been close to signing [[Swansea City A.F.C.|Swansea City]] striker [[Fernando Llorente]] at one point throughout deadline day, only to miss out on signing him to their rivals [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41107780|title=Tottenham complete signing of Fernando Llorente|publisher=BBC Sport|date=31 August 2017}}</ref>
===September===
On 1 September, [[Loic Remy]] left the club and signed for [[La Liga]] club [[UD Las Palmas|Las Palmas]] on a 2 year contract on a reported free transfer. <ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/09/remy-moves-on.html|title=Remy moves on|publisher=Chelsea Official Site |date=1 September 2017 |accessdate=1 September 2017}}</ref>
On 9 September, Chelsea earned a 2–1 away victory at Leicester City making it a third Premier League victory in a row. [[N'Golo Kanté|Kanté]] scored the second goal for the Blues against his former club. [[Davide Zappacosta]] made his debut for Chelsea while [[Eden Hazard]] returned from injury, coming on as a substitute.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41133348 |title=Leicester City 1-2 Chelsea |date=9 September 2017 |publisher=BBC Sports}}</ref>
On 12 September, Chelsea marked their return to the Champions League with a 6–0 thrashing of Azerbaijani champions [[FK Qarabag|Qarabag]], who made their first ever appearance in Europe's elite competition. Goals from Pedro, [[Cesar Azpilicueta]], [[Tiemoue Bakayoko]], [[Michy Batshuayi]] as well as a goal from [[Davide Zappacosta]] on his first start for Chelsea and an own goal by Qarabag player Medvedev, sent the Blues to the top of their group after the first round of fixtures.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41216361|title=Chelsea 6–0 Qarabag|publisher=BBC Sport|date=12 September 2017}}</ref>
On 17 September, Chelsea hosted rivals [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] at Stamford Bridge, who managed to emerge with a point by drawing 0–0 with the Blues. It was a frustrating game for Chelsea, who created several opportunities to score but could not find a cutting edge against a well-drilled Arsenal side. The game was also marred by [[David Luiz]] receiving a red card in the second half for a high tackle on [[Sead Kolasinac]], with the defender set to miss Chelsea's next three games as a result. His red card amounts to Chelsea's third red card of the season. The result sees the Blues remaining in third place, three points behind joint leaders [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] and [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41216718|title=Chelsea 0–0 Arsenal|publisher=BBC Sport|date=17 September 2017}}</ref>
On 20 September, Chelsea hosted [[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]] in the third round of [[2017–18 EFL Cup|Carabao Cup]]. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41216361 |title=Chelsea 6-0 Qarabag |date=12 September 2017 |publisher=BBC Sport}}</ref>
