Premier League Starts Again On June 17, Presents Manchester City Vs Arsenal

JAKARTA - If there are no obstacles, June 17 will be a happy day for all Premier League football lovers. On that date, the Premier League officially started again. And the fixtures for Manchester City v Arsenal and Aston Villa v Sheffield United and Manchester City v Arsenal.

Why only the four clubs? The editorial team quoted from the BBC, May 29, this was done so that the number of matches that had been played by all clubs was the same number.

There are no spectators in the stadium. All matches were held closed. But it will be broadcast live on Sky Sports, BT Sport, BBC Sport or Amazon Prime.

"The Premier League and clubs are proud to have very passionate and loyal supporters,"

Premier League chairman Richard Masters

The Premier League wants its supporters not to come to the stadium. They better stay at home enjoying the many live broadcasts. After all, safety guidelines have not been issued by the government. And whatever the result, all are waiting for a recommendation from the government.

The Premier League was suspended on March 13 due to the pandemic. Manchester City v Arsenal were already slated to be featured on Sky Sports, while Aston Villa v Sheffield United were not listed for live coverage when selection was announced in February.

Home and away games look the most likely for most of the game - with some high profile play at neutral ground at the request of the police.

A number of clubs have expressed their opposition to the concept using neutral grounds, including Brighton, West Ham and Crystal Palace.

On Wednesday, the club unanimously voted to continue contact training, having started non-contact training last week.

Premier League players and staff will continue to be tested twice a week, with the capacity increasing from 50 to 60 tests per club for fourth round testing. Any player or staff who has tested positive must self-isolate for seven days.

Liverpool is currently still sitting comfortably at the top of the standings. The Reds, chasing their first league title in 30 years, could grab it with a win in their first game if second-placed Manchester City lose to Arsenal.
