Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters said: “We know it won’t be the same without our loyal supporters in stadiums but, together with our broadcast partners, we are able to ensure fans can watch or listen to each match live from home.

“It is important that as many people as possible can access our games so we are extremely happy that more than a third of our remaining fixtures will be televised free-to-air here in the UK,” he added.

It has been already announced that the clubs will be able to use five substitutes during the matches.

Recently, Aston Villa footballer Tyrone Mings had said players were the ‘last people to be consulted’ over the English Premier League’s restart plans, which he feels is ‘financially driven’.
