The Premier League will resume from June 17, the English top flight has announced.

It has been suspended since March 13 but on that date Aston Villa v Sheffield United and Man City v Arsenal will take place, before a full round of fixtures begins from June 19-21.

There are 92 games left to play and all of them will be broadcast live on TV in England.

Clubs agreed the return - subject to government approval - on Thursday. Teams will play home and away but some matches may be at neutral venues if police request.

 

Clubs conducted 2,752 tests and found only 12 positives.
