The Premier League restarted on June 17 after a delay of over three months due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Matches continue this week, with the season due to conclude on July 26.

Liverpool have already been crowned champions and Norwich relegated, but the race for Champions League qualification was reignited on Monday as Manchester City's European ban was overturned, leaving Chelsea, Leicester and Manchester United to fight for the two remaining spots.
