THE Premier League is so nearly back!

If there are no other setbacks, Project Restart is now set to come into fruition with the 2019/20 season to be completed by the beginning of August.
When is the Premier League set to return?
Project Restart is the name given to the Premier League’s plan to get top-flight football going again in England.
There have been no Prem games held since March 9 and the government have always maintained that none would be held until it was ‘safe to do so’.
Boris Johnson has published his ‘road map’ as the country looks to navigate through the Covid-19 outbreak, which includes the new guidelines for professional sport.
Most teams currently have ten games remaining in the 2019/20 season, while Man City, Sheffield United, Arsenal and Aston Villa have 11 still to play.
And on May 28, it was revealed clubs are pushing for the top-flight to restart on June 17 and finish on August 1.
