The return of Premier League action is just days away, with 92 games left to play to conclude the 2019-20 season.

By the time Aston Villa and Sheffield United kick-off on June 17, 100 days will have passed since the last game.

All matches will be played behind closed doors and some may still be moved to neutral venues, with health and safety measures continually assessed during 'Project Restart'.

Fans will be able to watch the games live on TV, with little or no kick-off times clashing, as Sky Sports, BT Sport, Amazon and BBC broadcast a feast of football over a six-week period.
