The Premier League has a contract to fulfil as far as football season is concerned regardless of the novel COVID-19 pandemic, which has stalled games across the globe.

Top-flight clubs have at least nine matches left to play of the 2019/20 season with the leaders of the table, Liverpool having already qualified for next season’s Champions League and needs two wins to be crowned English Champions.

Various Leagues like the French Ligue, Dutch and Belgian league have experienced an abrupt end whiles top European leagues like the Bundesliga, LaLiga and Serie A plan on finishing the season.

With TV contracts emerging as one of the financial backbones of the English League, a restart of the current campaign is sure to begin and a meeting between the Premier League and their various stakeholders will take place on Friday, May 8, 2020 to discuss the next step of Project Restart.

Plans to resume the league in the month of June is underway and it remains that neutral venues are been considered to help limit risks and complete the season to make way for the next. The decision to play matches at eight to 10 venues seems pleasing to everyone so long as it will determine a potent winner and teams to represent England in the Champions and Europa Leagues.

FIFA’s decision of permitting five substitutes within the game in order to relieve the strain on players is also on the move with other measures to keep the season fulfilled and crowned.

"We don't know the future but we do know what propositions have been put, what ideas have been put - the possibility of having more substitutes, games possibly not being the full 45 minutes each way, talks of neutral stadiums," the chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA), Graham Taylor, told the BBC.

"Ideally, you want to keep the integrity of the competition, and of course, that was about playing home and away and having the same squad of players as before it was suspended.

"So, it remains in process and we shall just have to wait and see, and look at it on a day by day basis and see if it's achievable. But if we don't try, then it's never going to be achievable."
