After months of speculation, thousands of tests and weeks of rumours surrounding the Premier League return, top-flight football in England will finally return on June 17. With the league having conducted five rounds of tests for players and non-playing staff, plans for the restart were finally given the green light after just 13 positives from 5,079 tests, according to The Athletic. The formerly postponed fixtures - Sheffield United vs Aston Villa and Man City vs Arsenal - will be the two Premier League fixtures that will kick off the restart. This will be then followed by Tottenham hosting Man United and Everton hosting Liverpool, though the venue for the Merseyside Derby is yet to be decided. Elsewhere, the relegation battle will also resume, in what has been one of the nerviest battles in league history as the likes of Aston Villa, Bournemouth, West Ham, Brighton and Watford look to beat the drop.
Brighton v Arsenal on 20 June will be the first ever Premier League to be broadcast at 3pm in the UK.
