West Ham United confirmed the Club’s first three fixtures on the restart of the 2019/20 Premier League season. After two outstanding games involving League Cup finalists Aston Villa and Manchester City are played on Wednesday 17 June, the first full match round will begin on Friday 19 June. Due to COVID-19, games will take place without supporters present and all 92 remaining matches will be broadcasted live in the UK. BBC Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT will also provide live radio commentaries for all the remaining matches.

No players have tested positive for Coronavirus in the last round of testing in the Premier League. Therefore it seems to be no risk to resume playing games in the Premier League – suspended since 13 March – albeit behind closed doors on 17 June when Aston Villa host Sheffield United at 18:00 BST andManchester City entertain Arsenal at 20:15.

Liverpool are 25 points clear at the top of the table, while Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Norwich City are in the relegation zone.

There are 92 games remaining this season.

West Ham will return to action with the visit of Wolverhampton Wanderers to London Stadium on Saturday 20 June, with kick-off at 5.30pm.

David Moyes’ squad then will make the short trip to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday 23 June, with kick-off at 8.15pm.

Thirdly, Chelsea will visit London Stadium on Wednesday 1 July at 8.15pm. The Irons will not have a fixture over the weekend of 27/28 June due to Chelsea’s participation in the Emirates FA Cup quarter-finals.

All three fixtures will be broadcast live in the UK by Sky Sports and across the world by the Premier League’s international broadcast partners.

West Ham United ensured its fans of the huge disappointment that the supporters will not be able to give their passionate backing to the team in person at London Stadium and on their travels, but that they were at the heart of their thinking. Dates and kick-off times for West Ham’s final six fixtures of the 2019/20 Premier League season would be confirmed in due course.
