Football in England will return to our screens and our stadiums this week for the first time in 98 long days.

The lengthiest break in the modern era of the game will come to an end when Aston Villa and Sheffield United kick-off to get the 2019/20 Premier League season under way on Wednesday evening.

It has been a trying time for all, and that we’re here at all should see great credit given to all involved.
