Burnley boss Sean Dyche is happy opening their Premier League season at home to Chelsea.
Burnley then travel to Swansea City on August 23 before their second home game against Manchester United on August 30.
Dyche said: "It's terrific. It's a real welcome, with the big guns coming to Turf Moor straight away.
"It's great for the team, great for the fans and great for the town actually.
"It is kind of welcome back to the Premier League, but in the best sense.
"We all want to see the best teams at Turf Moor. That's what we have been striving to achieve really - to play against those big clubs, and straight away they're here."
