Premier League to Restart on June 17

The Premier League is set to restart on June 17 after it has been suspended since for almost three months since March due to coronavirus outbreak.

The most-awaited league in the whole globe is scheduled to return with a hard-fought derby between Arsenal and Manchester City, while the other game will be between Aston Villa and Sheffield United.

A full round of fixtures would then be played on the weekend of 19-21 June.

The officials of the Premier League said that all matches are set to be played behind the closed doors and will be aired live via Bein Sports,  Sky Sports, BT Sport, BBC Sport or Amazon Prime.

Liverpool now are at the top of the Premier League table with 25 points clear, while Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Norwich City are in the relegation places.

The Reds, chasing a first league title in 30 years, could clinch it with victory in their first game back should second-placed Manchester City lose to Arsenal.

"The Premier League and our clubs are proud to have incredibly passionate and loyal supporters," Premier League chief executive Richard Masters said, according to BBC.

"It is important to ensure as many people as possible can watch the matches at home."
