Premier League to restart on 17 June, 2020


Man City v Arsenal and Villa vs Sheffield Utd to start first.

The matches are the two games in hand.

A full fixture list would then be played on the weekend of 19-21 June.

Clubs are still discussing the idea at a meeting on Thursday, but it is understood all have agreed in principle at this stage.

There are 92 fixtures still to play.

The Premier League was suspended on 13 March because of the pandemic and it will be 100 days after Leicester City’sĀ 4-0 winĀ over Aston Villa on 9 March that competition will resume, with games now behind closed doors.

Manchester City v Arsenal was already scheduled to be shown on Sky Sports, while Aston Villa v Sheffield United was not listed for live coverage when selections were announced in February.

Home and away matches look most likely for the vast majority of games, BBC Sport understands – with a few high-profile games at neutral venues at the request of the police.

A number of clubs have expressed their opposition to the concept of using neutral grounds, including Brighton, West Ham and Crystal Palace.

Safety guidelines are yet to be issued by the government and decisions will remain subject to the continuing fight against coronavirus.

On Wednesday, clubs unanimously voted toĀ resume contact training, having started non-contact training last week.

So far 12 people have tested positive for coronavirus after 2,752 tests across the league.

Premier League players and staff will continue to be tested twice a week, with the capacity increased from 50 to 60 tests per club for the fourth round of testing.

Any players or staff to test positive must self-isolate for a period of seven days.
