Have Premier League games been played behind closed doors before?

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to sideline the world of sport, it seems more and more likely that games will have to be played behind closed doors if competitions are to be finished.

In England, the FA has confirmed that no professional football will take place until at least April 30 as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak.

If and when the Premier League does return, it will almost certainly be played without fans as has already happened in Serie A, the Champions League, Europa League and other tournaments.
