Revealed: Best goalkeepers in the English Premier League this season
May 28, 2020
The Premier League 2019/20 season will finally resume on June 17 after the coronavirus pandemic led to its shutdown in March.
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City will host Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and Aston Villa will take on Sheffield United.
