Chelsea will face a challenging October as manager Xabi Alonso aims to revitalize their season. The London club will compete in five Premier League matches during the month following a mixed start to Alonso's tenure. Their opening game returns to Stamford Bridge on Saturday, October 10th, where they will host AFC Bournemouth. This will be followed by a trip to Everton on October 17th for an early kick-off at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Chelsea will aim to avoid repeating their 3-0 defeat to Tottenham in March when they host Manchester United in a London derby on October 24th. The Blues will also begin their Carabao Cup campaign on October 28th, with a trip to Liverpool, giving Alonso the opportunity to bolster his team's chances of advancing to Wembley. With a demanding fixture list, improving defensive performances will be a top priority for Alonso if Chelsea are to turn their season around.
