A 22-year-old man from Zhombe in Midlands Province is on the run after allegedly killing his brother during a row over an English Premier League match on Sunday.
Police say the suspect, Peter Mhike, of Hotera Village in Zhombe, murdered his 26-year-old brother Edmore Mhike during a quarrel about which was the dominant team between Liverpool and Manchester City when the two rivals clashed at Anfield on Sunday.
The match ended 1-1 after Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister equalised from the penalty spot. Manchester City had taken the lead through John Stones.
Peter allegedly struck Edmore with a wooden bench and then finished him off with a stone after he tried to stop him from assaulting another man.
The incident took place at around 7 PM at Nganunu Bar in Zhombe on Sunday, shortly after the two teams drew 1-1 at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool.
According to an internal police memo of the incident seen by <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/man-killed-in-row-over-dominant-team-in-liverpool-and-manchester-city-game/">ZimLive</a>, Peter Mhike had a “misunderstanding with 29-year-old Joakim Moyo of Mashavave Village… as he was disputing that Liverpool had the upper hand to win the game.”
<blockquote>
Peter Mhike, who is a Manchester City supporter, started throwing stones at Joakim Moyo. The now-deceased Edmore Mhike rebuked and restrained his young brother from assaulting Moyo. This did not go well with the accused person who then turned on his brother.
Peter picked up a wooden bench and hit his elder brother. He then picked up a stone and struck the now-deceased on his head and he died on the spot.
</blockquote>
Peter fled from the scene and police were yet to arrest him on Tuesday.

Bradley, deputising for Trent Alexander Arnold who recently recovered from an injury, also grabbed two assists.
Darwin Nunez hit the woodwork four times, including a penalty in the first half, to set a record for a player hitting the woodwork four times in a single match.
Liverpool scored through Diogo Jota (23′), Bradley (39′), Dominik Szoboszlai (65′) and Luis Diaz (79′).
Chelsea scored their solitary goal through Christopher Nkunku (71′), after coming on at half-time.
In other matches played on Wednesday night, goals from Julian Alvarez (16′, 22′) and Rodri (42′) ensured Manchester City grabbed maximum points against Burnely, managed by former City captain Vincent Kompany.
Iraq-born Belgium defender Ameen Al-Dakhil scored a consolation for Burnley deep into stoppage time.

Liverpool Put 4 Past Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham Win

Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson scored three second-half goals to inflict the first Premier League defeat of the season on Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday night.
The Blues won 4-1 against nine-player Spurs after Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie were red-carded.
Ange Postecoglou’s side took the lead after only six minutes as Dejan Kulusevski’s shot deflected off Levi Colwill and spun beyond the Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
Chelsea levelled through a Cole Palmer penalty (35′) after a VAR intervention. In the build-up to the penalty, Cristian Romero was adjudged to have fouled Enzo Fernandez in the box and was shown a red card by referee Michael Oliver.
Tottenham were reduced to nine men when Destiny Udogie was shown a second yellow card for a late challenge on Raheem Sterling (55′).
Chelsea eventually took the lead with 15 minutes remaining as Nicholas Jackson tapped into the net after being set up by Sterling.
Conor Gallagher squared for Jackson to tap home his second on the counter-attack (90+4′).
Jackson wasn’t finished as he raced onto Palmer’s through ball to round Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and complete his hat-trick.
The result of the match left Spurs in second place in the Premier League behind Manchester City.
Man City has 27 points, while Spurs has 26 points after 11 matches. Chelsea moved into the top half of the table.

Chelsea Beat Nine-player Tottenham Hotspur

Manchester City have won their fifth title in six years – only Manchester United, from 1995/96 to 2000/01, have achieved such a feat.
With Arsenal losing 1-0 to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, ending any mathematical probability of the Gunners overtaking Pep Guardiola’s side in the title race, Manchester City were confirmed as the 2022/23 English Premier League champions.
This was also Manchester City’s third consecutive title, again matching United as the only other team to win three in a row.
Under Alex Ferguson, Manchester United twice won a hattrick of titles.
City are on course to win a treble as they are in the FA and UEFA Champions League finals.
The Citizens face Manchester United and Inter Milan in the FA Cup final and the final of Europe’s premier cup competition, respectively.
If City win both trophies, in addition to the EPL title they have just won, they will become just the second team in English football history, after United in 1998/99, to win the “Treble.”
Under manager Guardiola, City have now won an incredible 10 major trophies since 2016.
They have <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/21/football/how-manchester-city-won-the-premier-league-once-again-spt-intl/index.html">also set numerous Premier League records over the years</a>, including being the first team to reach 100 points, recording the biggest title-winning margin and the most wins in a single season.

Manchester City Win 5th Title In 6 Years, On Course To Win The "Treble"

English Premier League clubs on Friday, 14 April agreed to withdraw gambling sponsorship from the front of their matchday shirts.
In a statement, the Premier League said the move came after consultations involving the League, its clubs, and the Government.
The Premier League said the agreement will begin at the end of the 2025/26 season. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
Premier League clubs have today collectively agreed to withdraw gambling sponsorship from the front of clubs’ matchday shirts, becoming the first sports league in the UK to take such a measure voluntarily in order to reduce gambling advertising.
The announcement follows an extensive consultation involving the League, its clubs and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport as part of the Government’s ongoing review of current gambling legislation.
The Premier League is also working with other sports on the development of a new code for responsible gambling sponsorship.
To assist clubs with their transition away from shirt-front gambling sponsorship, the collective agreement will begin at the end of the 2025/26 season.
</blockquote>
According to research conducted by Dr Darragh McGee of the University of Bath, whose results were published in 2019, “gambling is the worst addiction”.
His findings shared exclusively with <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jan/10/football-gambling-dire-consequences-young-men-bet-new-study">the Guardian</a>, include some of the young men telling him they can no longer watch a football match unless they have multiple bets.
They said their football conversations with mates are all about betting, rather than the game. Said McGee:
<blockquote>
The study documented the unfolding stories of several young men whose everyday lives are punctuated by deepening social and financial precarity, high-interest payday loans and bank debt, mortgage defaults, family breakdown, and mental health struggles.
In particular, for young men who find themselves deprived of viable routes to employment opportunities, gambling promises an alternative route to wealth, social capital and masculine affirmation, yet most end up ensnared in a cycle of indebtedness.
</blockquote>
A total of £14.4bn was lost by people betting in the UK from April 2017 to March 2018, according to figures produced by the Gambling Commission.

EPL Clubs Agree To Withdraw Gambling Sponsorship From The Front Of Matchday Shirts

The English Premier League (EPL) has recognised former Warriors captain Peter Ndlovu’s contribution to the English top flight.
Ndlovu, who is the current Mamelodi Sundowns team manager, became the first African to feature and score in the rebranded First Division when he played at Coventry City in 1992.
Ndlovu netted for Coventry City, on September 2, 1992, when his side won 2-1 against Sheffield.
As part of the EPL’s celebration for Black History Month, Ndlovu has been honoured for this achievement. <a href="https://twitter.com/premierleague/status/1581208267384147968?s=20&amp;t=5qjePpWheNHGSrBDMxd5DQ">The EPL said:</a>
<blockquote>
Peter Ndlovu will forever have the honour of being the Premier League’s first African player and goal scorer, as part of an exciting Coventry City FC side.
We’re celebrating iconic players from around the world who’ve starred in the PL as part of Black History Month.

All English And Scottish Football Postponed This Weekend

A 31-year-old football fan in Mbembesi, Matabeleland North Province was allegedly hacked to death with a machete by a fellow villager during a dispute over an English Premier Soccer League played last Saturday.
Vukile Nkomo was reportedly murdered after he attempted to stop an argument between his killer and his brother, Mkhululi Nkomo, over Manchester United’s performance that resulted in a 4-0 loss to Brentford.
The incident occurred in rural Mbembesi Village on 13 August after Manchester United’s loss, at around 10 PM.
The accused, Sthembelani Tshuma, who is facing a murder charge is on the run. He is wanted by the police for questioning over the incident.
The informant, a 35-year-old cousin of the deceased reported the assault to Mbembesi Police Station.
It is alleged that Vukile was watching football at Fingo Bottle Store with his brother Mkhululi, the informant, the accused and other patrons.
After the match, a misunderstanding arose between the accused and Mkhululi over the outcome of the match.
Vukile and his cousin intervened so as to calm the tension between the two.
This angered the accused who then rushed home to collect his machete.
Oh his way back, Tshuma used a footpath which he knew his rival often used on his way home.
It is alleged that along the way, the informant and the deceased encountered the accused person carrying the machete which he used to strike the deceased several times. He accused Vulike of siding with his brother, Mkhululi.
The informant rushed to the shopping centre to alert others and when they returned to the scene, they found the now-deceased in a pool of blood.
The informant informed Mbembesi Police Station and officers were deployed to attend to the crime scene.
Police are appealing to the public for information that might lead to his arrest.
Football is by far Zimbabwe’s most popular sport, with the English Premier League and the UEFA Champions League being shown mostly in bars all across the country.
Zimbabwe has its own league, the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League but it is not as popular as European football leagues.

English Premier League 2022-23 Fixtures In Full

<h1>Premier League: Best Bets For Weekend Games</h1>
With Christmas getting closer, the premier league games are coming thick and fast. This is sometimes great for teams, allowing them to build positive momentum with a good run of form, while others crack under the pressure of so many matches in quick succession. All of this makes a great time for sports gambling, with <a href="https://sports.betmgm.com/en/sports/soccer-4">soccer odds betting</a> one of the most lucrative areas. Here are the weekend’s games and what we think could be a great weekend for betting.
<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-222097" class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_222097" style="width: 2048px"><img alt="" class="wp-image-222097 size-full" decoding="async" height="1758" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px" src="https://t792ae.c2.acecdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl.jpg" srcset="https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl.jpg 2048w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-300x258.jpg 300w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-1024x879.jpg 1024w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-768x659.jpg 768w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-1536x1319.jpg 1536w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-1320x1133.jpg 1320w" width="2048"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text" id="caption-attachment-222097">https://unsplash.com/s/photos/football</figcaption></figure>
<h2>Manchester United Vs Brighton</h2>
The first game to kick off over the weekend is the early 12:30 match between Manchester United and Brighton. In the last five games, both teams have only felt one away loss, and while this sounds great on paper, Brighton has failed to secure a win in those remaining four matches, drawing in them all. On the other hand, United has seen a better run of form, winning their last three games, and with home advantage, they look set to secure their fourth premier league win without Ole at the helm.
<h2>Aston Villa vs Burnley</h2>
 The newly managed <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/12/09/aston-villa-granted-permission-to-release-nakamba-late-for-afcon-finals/">Aston Villa</a> are seeing a boost of morale from their recent performances, and while they have lost 2 in their last 5, it was against the teams sitting first and second in the league. On the other hand, Burnley has failed to win any games in their last five matches, earning only 4 points out of a possible 15. The previous head-to-head matches between these teams have seen them victorious twice and nothing to split the two in the remaining four games. Home advantage and a run of form are looking at Aston Villa taking the 3 points this weekend, but there could be a spanner in the works.
<h2>Leeds Vs Arsenal</h2>
 Saturday’s final game is between Leeds and Arsenal. Both teams are seeing a lull in form, but Leeds will bounce back from their embarrassing display against Manchester City resulting in a 7-0 defeat. Arteta’s vision for Arsenal is dividing the fans, and while the team has been seeing a few more victories, they have failed to win three matches in their last five, only earning 6 points in total.
<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-222096" class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_222096" style="width: 2048px"><img alt="" class="wp-image-222096 size-full" decoding="async" height="1365" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px" src="https://t792ae.c2.acecdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-2.jpg" srcset="https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-2.jpg 2048w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-2-1320x880.jpg 1320w" width="2048"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text" id="caption-attachment-222096">https://unsplash.com/s/photos/football</figcaption></figure>
<h2>Everton Vs Leicester</h2>
 Sunday’s early kick lunchtime match sees Everton face Leicester. Everton has found themselves in a bit of a slump when it comes to winning matches, losing four times in their last five games, only beating Arsenal at home 2-1. Everton has not been beaten out of the previous three games between the two teams, winning both home and away. Brenden Rogers’ Leicester will be looking to stay on winning form after their last match against Newcastle, a match resulting in a 4-0 victory. We believe Leicester will take the 3 points, but the home crowd advantage of the Toffees could see some upset.
<h2>Chelsea Vs Wolves</h2>
 Sunday sees the top 3 teams in the table play, all looking to overtake one another. Chelsea is away at Wolves, but that doesn’t look like it will bother them all that much. They have only lost 1 of the last five games played, and with 38 goals scored, and only 11 conceded all season, they are looking like a force to be reckoned with. On the other hand, the Wolves have seen more goals scored against them than they have scored themselves, which doesn’t look great for the Wanderers.
<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-222095" class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_222095" style="width: 2048px"><img alt="" class="wp-image-222095 size-full" decoding="async" height="1152" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px" src="https://t792ae.c2.acecdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-3.jpg" srcset="https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-3.jpg 2048w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/psl-3-1320x743.jpg 1320w" width="2048"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text" id="caption-attachment-222095">https://unsplash.com/s/photos/football</figcaption></figure>
<h2>Newcastle Vs Manchester City</h2>
 Top of the league Manchester City travel to the Toon this Sunday to face bottom of the league Newcastle for what is expected to be a routine win for Pep’s Cityzens. Their 7-0 victory over Leeds will have instilled motivation and confidence in the players. Pep is a lover of team rotation, and the entire squad seems to follow and believe his philosophy gives them the momentum and strength we have seen for so many recent seasons. Although <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/newcastle-united-takeover-what-to-know-about-the-historic-saudi-arabian-backed-deal-for-premier-league-club/">Newcastle has received the news of a financial takeover</a>, nothing has been done in terms of positivity. Saint-Maximin is always one to watch, no matter how good this City side is.
<h2>Spurs Vs Liverpool</h2>
 Jurgen Klopps’ Liverpool goes into Sunday’s game in good stride. They are currently sitting second in the league, just 1 point behind Manchester City. Furthermore, they have won their last five games in the premier league, won all of the Champions League group stage games, and defeated Spurs in the previous three times the two teams have faced one another. These statistics together look like a secure bet if you want to place your money down on this match, although Spurs are not going to lay down and take any punishment. This being said, the special form of <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/tag/mohammed-salah/">Mohammed Salah</a> doesn’t seem to be hiding away any time soon, and he will surely have a positive impact on the game.

Premier League: Best Bets For Weekend Games

The English Premier League’s 20 clubs met on Monday and resolved to fulfil festive fixtures despite the ongoing disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The clubs held a meeting to discuss how they could deal with the COVID-19 situation after six fixtures were postponed over the weekend.
There was a possibility that the round of fixtures over Christmas could be postponed owing to COVID-19 numbers.
No vote took place and so two rounds of fixtures are in place across five days from 26 December, as in previous seasons.
Clubs are expected to fulfil their games if they have 13 fit players, plus a goalkeeper.
Last week, 42 Premier League players tested positive for coronavirus in a seven-day period, the highest number since the start of the pandemic.
Updated figures for the most recent seven-day period are expected later on Monday.
Meanwhile, the seven Premier League teams still in the Carabao Cup face ties on 21 and 22 December.
They will also play three Premier League fixtures between then and 2 January.

COVID-19: English Premier League Clubs To Fulfil Festive Fixtures

Manchester City have been crowned the 2020-21 Premier League champions after second-placed Manchester United suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Leicester City at home Tuesday.
Celebrating the victory, Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola said this was the hardest won Premier League title.

With the Carabao Cup success already assured, City have now won 10 of the last 15 available English trophies.
They are still expecting to win the Uefa Champions League for the first time in their history. They are in the finals with Chelsea.
The Premier League title is the 10th major honour Guardiola has won since taking charge at City in 2016, and it comes a week after his men booked a place in the UEFA Champions League final.
City have shown remarkable consistency in turbulent times, overcoming a gruelling fixture schedule by heavily rotating the squad to ensure every player has played a part in this success.

Manchester City Are The 2020-21 Premier League Champions

Europe’s twelve biggest clubs are facing a ban from playing in their respective national leagues and other UEFA competitions after launching a breakaway European Super League on Sunday.
Six of the top English Premier League clubs – Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are among the teams that have signed up to the plans.
They are joined by Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid from Spain, and Italian Serie A trio of Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan.
In a statement, UEFA warned the clubs that if they went ahead with their plans, the clubs concerned will be banned from playing in any other competition at domestic, European or world level. The Statement read:
<blockquote>UEFA, the English Football Association and the Premier League, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and LaLiga, and the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) and Lega Serie A have learned that a few English, Spanish and Italian clubs may be planning to announce their creation of a closed, so-called Super League.
If this were to happen, we wish to reiterate that we – UEFA, the English FA, RFEF, FIGC, the Premier League, LaLiga, Lega Serie A, but also FIFA and all our member associations – will remain united in our efforts to stop this cynical project, a project that is founded on the self-interest of a few clubs at a time when society needs solidarity more than ever.
We will consider all measures available to us, at all levels, both judicial and sporting in order to prevent this from happening. Football is based on open competitions and sporting merit; it cannot be any other way.
As previously announced by FIFA and the six Confederations, the clubs concerned will be banned from playing in any other competition at domestic, European or world level, and their players could be denied the opportunity to represent their national teams.
We thank those clubs in other countries, especially the French and German clubs, who have refused to sign up for this.
We call on all lovers of football, supporters and politicians, to join us in fighting against such a project if it were to be announced. This persistent self-interest of a few has been going on for too long. Enough is enough.</blockquote>

Top Six EPL Clubs Face Ban For Joining European Super League

Liverpool won 3-1 against West Ham on Sunday to cut the gap on English Premier League (EPL) log leaders, Manchester City.
Mohammed Salah’s second-half brace and an 84th-minute strike from Georginio Wijnaldum secured the three points for the Reds.
The Hammers got their consolation goal in the 87th minute through Dawson who converted from close range after Robertson flicked it into the West Ham defender’s path.
Liverpool, with 40 points, are now four (4) points behind Manchester City (44) who have a game in hand.
Meanwhile, new Chelsea manager, Tuchel registered his first win since taking over from Lampard after sharing spoils with Wolves in his first match as the Blues’ boss.
Chelsea won 2-0 against relegation-threatened Burnley, thanks to goals from defenders, César Azpilicueta 40′ and Marcos Alonso 84′.
Leicester City suffered a shocking 3-1 defeat at the hands of Leeds giving the reigning champions, Liverpool to go above them.
The top five teams as it stands: 

<blockquote>
<ol>
<li>Manchester City – 44 (20 games)</li>
<li>Manchester United – 41 (21 games)</li>
<li>Liverpool – 40 (21 games)</li>
<li>Leicester  – 39 (21 games)</li>
<li>West Ham – 35 (21 games)</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>

Liverpool Win To Close Gap On Manchester City

Jose Mourinho mocked the Premier League’s ‘Best league in the world’ mantra after revealing he and his Tottenham players had no idea if they would be playing Fulham in less than four hours time prior to learning the game had been postponed.
The Spurs boss uploaded the footage to his official Instagram page showing him seated alongside his fellow coaches with Sky Sports News on in the background. He captioned the video:
<blockquote>Match at 6 pm… We still don’t know if we play. Best league in the world.</blockquote>
A COVID-19 outbreak within Fulham’s camp raised major doubts over whether the game would take place, and shortly after this post, <a href="https://talksport.com/football/810126/tottenham-fulham-third-premier-league-fixture-postponed-covid/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spurs and the Premier League confirmed the game was off.</a> Said Tottenham:
<blockquote>We can confirm that our Premier League home fixture against Fulham, scheduled to take place this evening (Wednesday 30 December), has been postponed.
The Premier League informed us of the decision this afternoon, with Fulham having requested the postponement on the grounds of the number of COVID-19 positive cases among their players and staff.
Everyone at Tottenham Hotspur sends their best wishes to Fulham for a safe and speedy recovery to all those who are affected.
Details of a new date for the fixture will be confirmed in due course.</blockquote>
Fulham boss Scott Parker did not take charge of his team’s goalless draw with Southampton on Boxing Day after someone in his household tested positive for COVID-19.
This comes after the Everton and Manchester City match that was scheduled for Tuesday was also postponed over the coronavirus.

COVID-19: Mourinho Mocks PL As Match Is Postponed

The Premier League (PL) often referred to as the English Premier League or the EPL has recorded eight (8) new coronavirus cases following the recent test on players and staff.
The development was announced in the PL’s Monday statement which, however, did not disclose the identity of the affected clubs and persons. Read the statement in part:
<blockquote>The Premier League can today confirm that between Monday 12 October and Sunday 18 October, 1 575 players and club staff were tested for Covid-19. Of these, there were eight new positive tests.</blockquote>
The league said the individuals who had tested positive for the novel coronavirus would now self-isolate for 10 days.
A total of 42 people including Liverpool’s Sadio Mane have tested positive for the virus in seven rounds of testing since the new campaign began on 12 September.
There have been more than 750 000 Covid-19 infections and over 43 000 deaths in the United Kingdom, according to a Reuters tally.
This comes when the UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has said the spread of coronavirus in Greater Manchester is “grave” and he may “need to intervene” if new measures under tier three which include pub closures and a ban on household mixing indoors are not agreed.

English Premier Soccer League clubs have unanimously agreed to resume contact training, a significant milestone towards the restarting of the 2019/2020 season.
In a statement, the Premier League said squads are now able to train as a group and engage in tackling. The statement reads:
<blockquote>Premier League Shareholders today voted unanimously to resume contact training, marking another step towards restarting the Premier League season when safe to do so.

Stage Two of the Return to Training protocol has been agreed following consultation with clubs, players, managers, the PFA, LMA and the Government.
Discussions are ongoing as work continues towards resuming the season when conditions allow.</blockquote>

EPL Clubs Vote Unanimously To Approve Return To Contact Training

BBC Sport has reported that six coronavirus cases were recorded across three English Premier League clubs on Sunday and Monday.
The development is a setback considering that the top-flight league is preparing to resume the 2019/20 season in June which has 92 fixtures to go.
The league had previously identified 12 June for matches to possibly start again, but there is now an expectation this will need to be pushed back. In a statement, EPL said:
<blockquote>The Premier League is providing this aggregated information for the purposes of competition integrity and transparency.
No specific details as to clubs or individuals will be provided by the league and results will be made public in this way after each round of testing.</blockquote>
One player and two staff at Watford and Burnley assistant manager Ian Woan are among six positive Premier League tests for coronavirus while other two are at a third club, the details of which have not been revealed.
Those who tested positive will now self-isolate for seven days.
The clubs started non-contact training from Tuesday, the first action since the suspension of the current season on the 13th of March following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

English Clubs Reiterate Their Commitment To Finish 2019/20 Season

English Premier League (EPL) officials are reported to be mulling plans to complete the season in a five-week period when football is played again.
According to The Telegraph, all 20 teams are expected to play two matches per week over the space of 35 days.
It is hoped that that teams will still use their own stadia, rather than neutral venues, even if all the matches will have to be behind closed doors.
Premier League matches were suspended in March with 16 teams having nine games to play and four with 10 matches, due to COVID-19, a disease caused by the new coronavirus.
The Telegraph further reports that discussions are ongoing as to whether all the 92 Premier League games left to complete the 2019-20 season will be televised.
The FA Cup is yet to be completed and the games will have to be re-scheduled as well.
