According to The Telegraph, the Premier League is “tentatively” putting in place a plan to resume the season on June 1st behind closed doors.
The remaining nine games of the 2019-20 season would apparently be scheduled inside six weeks to allow the 2020-21 campaign to start on time.

Has anyone asked the virus how it feels about all this?

😆 Expect you’ve been watching too many movies.
The uk will be in complete lockdown soon like italy. Expect the season will be declared null, which suits us… Next season maybe too depending on how bad the outbreak is.
Danny rose saying what I’ve been saying for years. Jon Jo shelvy can play. Can hit a ball sweet man. 100% I’d have him at Tottenham. Was hoping poch would demand levy sign him once. All free kicks. HIM
The same idiots are trying to put on the Olympics.
