Liverpool will restart against Everton at a neutral venue

-

LIVERPOOL’S Premier League title challenge will resume with a Merseyside derby on June 21.

With matches set to take place behind closed doors, fans will have greater access than ever before to coverage as the remaining 92 top-flight fixtures are all shown live.

Liverpool take on Everton in their first game back on Sky’s free-to-air Pick channel, though a police request for the game to be moved from Goodison Park to a neutral ground means the venue remains unknown.

Starting with a double header on Sky on June 17, Aston Villa host Sheffield United at 6pm before Manchester City welcome Arsenal at 8.15pm.

The first live Premier League fixture on BBC television will be Bournemout­h v Crystal Palace on Saturday, June 20, while BT Sport will feature a first of its own by screening Brighton’s match against Arsenal at 3pm on the same day typically a ring-fenced ‘blackout’ window for domestic broadcaste­rs.

Amazon Prime’s four-match allocation will all be free to view, starting with Palace against Burnley on June 29.

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.”
