Premier League fixtures, table, schedule ahead of return after COVID-19 hiatus

The Premier league return is just around the corner for football lovers in England and across the globe. Football fans have been awaiting the league's restart ever since the season was suspended in March. The 2019-20 season was suspended after Callum Hudson-Odoi and Mikel Arteta tested positive for COVID-19 back in March.

England was one of the worst-affected countries by the coronavirus pandemic over the last two months. England recorded more than 280,000 positive COVID-19 cases since March and the registered deaths crossed the 39,000+ mark as of June 4, 2020. However, the worst phase of the pandemic is expected to have passed as the British government gave Premier League clubs the green signal to resume training last month.
