“It seems as long as you have 15 fit players including a goalkeeper from your main squad or your under-21s you will be deemed to have a team fit enough to fulfil the fixture.”

The Premier League will restart with the outstanding fixtures between Aston Villa and Sheffield United as well as Manchester City against Arsenal.

A full round of games will then be played on the weekend of 19-21 June and will include a critical encounter between Tottenham and Manchester United.

However, all remaining 92 fixtures are going to take place behind closed doors for safety reasons to try and prevent a second lockdown.
