West Brom boss Roberto di Matteo insists he's unconcerned about facing Chelsea first up.
Last season Chelsea clinched the title with an 8-0 demolition at home to Wigan but Di Matteo isn't daunted and won't let the emotion of returning to the club get to him.
"It's certainly a challenging start but having the chance to play at grounds like Stamford Bridge, Anfield, the Emirates Stadium and Old Trafford is exactly what we battled so hard for last season," he said.
"It will be the coaching staff's job to get the players as best prepared as possible for the challenges that lie ahead. We'll certainly need to hit the ground running as opening fixtures don't come much tougher than Chelsea away.
"They finished last season with an great result and have got top quality throughout their squad, but we will go there with a plan with a view to giving them a real game.
"Of course, going back to Stamford Bridge will be a special occasion for [coach] Eddie Newton and I because of the long years we spent there but we will be fully focused on one thing - getting a result for Albion."
