Police in dark over Project Restart with forces anxious to see clubs' plans with resumption of games being possibly just 23 DAYS away

Police are still waiting for a detailed picture of Project Restart from Premier League clubs despite the resumption of games being possibly just 23 days away.

The 13 forces who oversee Premier League grounds have received a questionnaire from high-level police asking how they would handle matches which present a risk to social distancing rules.

Manchester City v Liverpool, the Merseyside and north London derbies, Liverpool v Aston Villa — where Jurgen Klopp's side could seal the title — plus games with relegation at stake could all impact on police staffing schedules and resources at a time of national emergency.
