The return of English Premier League football looks to be on rails, with the increasing likelihood we will see the restart of games on June 17th. While that’s exciting for any fan, the upcoming schedule would prove a difficult test for even the most seasoned manager.

The remaining 90 games will then begin from Friday, June 19, with every match shown live on television, no two games played at the same time across a weekend and all matches televised in the U.K.
