Premier League 'enquires about using Twickenham as neutral venue' for matches as part of Project Restart plans but clubs may be reluctant to squander home advantage

The Premier League 'has made initial contact with Twickenham' about using the home of English rugby as a 'neutral' venue to complete the season.

English football's top-flight is drawing up detailed plans called 'Project Restart' in an effort to complete the 92 remaining matches in the 2019-20 season once the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions have been eased.

The games would be played behind closed doors at 'approved' venues between June 8 and the end of July though it remains to be decided whether a limited number of Premier League grounds or entirely 'neutral' venues are used.
