Premiership clubs chiefs have come up with a radical plan to save the season. They are ready to play all of the remaining 92 games behind closed doors with every game shown live on TV, according to The Sun.

The matches would also be played at two or three neutral venues, most likely in the Midlands, at different times. Euro 2020 was postponed for 12 months on Tuesday due to the coronavirus pandemic in a bid to allow nations to complete their domestic leagues.

Premier League clubs fear they could be the only domestic competition unable to fulfil their fixtures before the end of June.

Officials are reported to have spoken to UEFA chief Aleksander Ceferin as they have more matches left to play than countries like Italy and Spain. Clubs will offer up their revolutionary proposal at a crunch Premier League meeting on Thursday.

Grounds could even stage more than one game a day with teams playing every three days in a race to pack in the fixtures.

By using only a limited number of stadiums that would help keep numbers of medical and police needed down to a minimum.
