Former Manchester United player and TC pundit Gary Neville took to Twitter with a suggestive tweet regarding a Premier League return date on Thursday. Neville claims that the English top-flight will resume on June 8 although he has not given a reliable source for the above date. UEFA officials have put extreme pressure on major European leagues to complete their remaining fixtures or face consequences.

However, the Belgian league, Dutch Eredivisie and the French Ligue 1 have all been canceled in the last couple of weeks. Reports in British media claim that English clubs will resume team training in the coming weeks. Arsenal and Tottenham already began training in batches earlier this week in order to prepare for a possible Premier League return. Will we see Liverpool lift the Premier League trophy at Anfield this year? Only time will tell.
