Aston Villa vs. Sheffield United: What time is kickoff? What TV channel is it on?

Sports Mole provides TV information and more for the first Premier League game back after lockdown as Aston Villa host Sheffield United.

The Premier League returns tonight after a break of exactly 100 days, with Aston Villa and Sheffield United sharing the honour of being the first teams back in action.

The hosts go into their game in hand sitting 19th in the Premier League table and two points from safety, meaning that victory over their fellow promoted team would lift them out of the bottom three.

Sheffield United could also make a significant stride up the table, though, with victory enough to take them above Manchester United into fifth, which is currently good enough for a Champions League spot.

The contest kicks off a bumper 92-fixture Premier League schedule to see out the season, with every single game being broadcast live on TV to make up for fans being unable to attend in person.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up everything you know about the first game back.
