IT'S BACK
The English Premier League return on 17 June, with Man City v Arsenal to kick off.
They kick off with Man City vs Arsenal and Aston Villa vs Sheffield Utd — followed by a full weekend of top-flight fixtures.
English skipper Harry Kane responded with the exciting news: “Football is back soon!”
Match of the Day host Gary Lineker tweeted: “It’s coming back, it’s coming back, it’s coming . . . football’s coming back.”
The season will come to an end, hopefully everything goes as planned by August 2.
All matches will be played behind closed doors with stars and staff tested regularly.
The 92 remaining games will be live on Sky Sports, BT Sport, BBC Sport and Amazon Prime.
Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters confirmed earlier reports by saying: “Today we have provisionally agreed to resume the Premier League on Wednesday 17 June.
"But this date cannot be confirmed until we have met all the safety requirements needed, as the health and welfare of all participants and supporters is our priority.
‘’Sadly, matches will have to take place without fans in stadiums, so we are pleased to have come up with a positive solution for supporters to be able to watch all the remaining 92 matches.
“The Premier League and our clubs are proud to have incredibly passionate and loyal supporters. It is important to ensure as many people as possible can watch the matches at home.
“We will continue to work step-by-step and in consultation with all our stakeholders as we move towards resuming the 2019/20 season.”
