Premier League football is coming back after a three-month shutdown, with games to return from Wednesday, June 17. Aston Villa vs Sheffield United and Manchester City vs Arsenal will be the first two games when the Premier League resumes next month. Those two fixtures were originally postponed due to the EFL Cup Final and the rearranged Manchester City vs Arsenal game was due to be broadcast live on Sky Sports before the pandemic struck. Every club will have played 29 PL games after the two matches are held on June 17. Football in England has been suspended since March 13 following an emergency meeting between the Premier League, Football Association, the English Football League and the Women's Super League. Thursday's conference call was the second meeting of Premier League clubs in the last two days after they unanimously agreed to resume contact training.
