The Premier League's schedule proposal would allow the 2020-2021 campaign to begin on time, on August 8 - four weeks after the end of the previous season.

It could prevent a financial catastrophe for clubs with mammoth wage bills to pay and no matchday revenue to support them. Lucrative TV deals could also be hit, with no football currently available to broadcast.

According to the Telegraph, the June 1 start date, which is in just 10 weeks' time, is not set in stone but more of a target for the Premier League, with the Football Association determined for the season to be concluded.
