The Premier League broadcasters have reached agreement for all opening fixtures up to 2 July, with Aston Villa vs Sheffield United set to kick off Project Restart, and Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United to be the big Friday night game on Sky Sports to open the first weekend.

The channels have spent the last few days in talks, and are close to a completed schedule, but a few minor issues – like the exact timing of some fixtures – mean the official list won’t be published until Friday.

The schedule will follow plans to televise every game, meaning all fixtures are staggered until the final day.

Manchester City vs Arsenal will immediately follow Aston Villa’s curtain-raiser, with the match at Villa Park starting at 6pm on Sky, and the game at Etihad kicking off at 8.15pm.

Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace is meanwhile set to be the first league game on BBC since 1988.
