Aston Villa vs Sheffield United and Manchester City vs Arsenal will be the first two games when the Premier League resumes next month.
Those two fixtures were originally postponed due to the EFL Cup Final and the rearranged Manchester City vs Arsenal game was due to be broadcast live on Sky Sports before the coronavirus pandemic struck.
Every club will have played 29 PL games after the two matches are held on June 17.
Football in England has been suspended since March 13 following an emergency meeting between the Premier League, Football Association, the English Football League, and the Women’s Super League.
Thursday’s conference call was the second meeting of Premier League clubs in the last two days after they unanimously agreed to resume contact training.
Gary Neville said this week that Premier League players will only need “two or three weeks” of training to get up to speed.
Squads are now able to train as a group and engage in tackling while minimising any unnecessary close contact, following a unanimous vote on Wednesday.
Speaking on The Football Show, he said: “I don’t see players’ fitness being a concern – I don’t see them needing four or five weeks. Even when they’ve had six weeks off for pre-season, within 10 days of going back in they’d be playing games again in pre-season.
“They wouldn’t be 100 per cent fit but these are uncharted times. I wouldn’t expect the players to be absolutely perfect. I feel two to three weeks is about right to get them back playing again.
“We’re constantly told throughout the season that players are overworked, play too many matches. What we can’t have is a situation where the players have had an eight-week break to then say they need six weeks of training to get back to fitness. That doesn’t feel right.
“If Harry Kane was borderline fit for the European Championships and was going to be back two weeks before the tournament, he’d be saying he was fit and ready to go. I don’t see the difference with this situation
