English Premier League kicks off on June 17 behind closed doors with a 92-match slog to the finish on July 26. Here's what to expect:
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah celebrates scoring their second goal with teammates. Liverpool, United Kingdom, April 14, 2019.
Every match will be broadcast live, many made free-to-air, and the action will come thick and fast from Wednesday when Manchester City host Arsenal and Aston Villa welcome Sheffield United. Provided there is no surge in coronavirus infections, the season will conclude on July 26.It is easy to overlook but by the sublime standards Liverpool have set this season, they were having a wobble.
Crisis? Hardly. Juergen Klopp's side is 25 points clear at the top and, if Manchester City loses to Arsenal, they can wrap up their first title since 1990 at, of all places, city rivals Everton next weekend. They need 19 more points to surpass the record 100 Man City amassed two seasons ago and, barring a dip in form, will likely shatter City's record 19-point winning margin. Six more wins would also surpass City's 32 victories from 2017-18.With Manchester City banned from Europe next season, pending the outcome of an appeal, the battle for a top-four finish and qualification for the Champions League will sustain interest in the top half of the table once Liverpool has secured the title.
