Football returns! When and where to watch the opening games of the Premier League

Newcastle United, 13th in the division with nine games left to play, will return to action with a June 21 home game against Sheffield United (2pm kick-off) which will be screened live by Sky Sports and Pick.

United will entertain Aston Villa at St James’s Park on June 24 (6pm), and the game will be broadcast by BT Sport.

Newcastle will take on Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on July 1 (6pm). Sky Sports and Pick will broadcast the fixture.

All games will be played behind-closed-doors.

Premier League leaders Liverpool could clinch a first title in 30 years against Everton on June 21 after the first batch of fixtures of the restart were confirmed.

Jurgen Klopp's side need a maximum of two wins to secure the top division crown and are due to play the Merseyside derby in their first game since football was halted in March.

If Arsenal beat Manchester City on June 17 - the date of the season's resumption - Liverpool can win the title by beating Everton.

The venue is still unclear as it was scheduled to be played at Goodison Park, but was included on a list of matches which local forces had asked to be moved to neutral venues.
