The Premier League says the preference is for all clubs to be able to play home and away if the competition resumes next month - and insists no club has asked for the curtailment of the season or the scrapping of relegation if it restarts.

Premier League shareholders discussed Project Restart during virtual talks yesterday, following the government's new guidance on lockdown restrictions.

Top-level sport in England could restart behind closed doors from June 1 but spectators may not be able to attend venues until a coronavirus vaccine is found.

The government and UK's top football police officer have suggested that games should be played in neutral venues but that plan was opposed by many relegation-threatened clubs.
