Dimitar Berbatov, the former Manchester United and Spurs striker and now Betfair Ambassador, will be joined by senior football correspondent Melissa Reddy, chief football writer Miguel Delaney and football writer Tony Evans on a live webinar hosted by Vithushan Ehantharajah.

The panel will discuss the resumed season, the ramifications of the packed schedule and what the transfer window will look like this year, and discuss what the extraordinary break will mean for next season and the future of football. Ticket holders will be given exclusive access and the chance to ask the panel questions live.

Project restart

The Premier League finally returns after being stopped in its tracks – much like everything else – by the coronavirus pandemic. Now, after much debate, football will be on our screens and in our stadiums once again, starting with Aston Villa vs Sheffield United. Our panel will discuss the difficult journey to this point and whether the football authorities have made the right decision.

Liverpool

Liverpool were all set to end their 30-year league title drought before coronavirus intervened and delayed that wait even longer. How will they react and how much will winning the title behind closed doors affect the celebrations?

Top four

With the title as good as won, the battle to finish in the top four may well be the most watchable aspect of this resumed season. Who will do it and who will miss out on Champions League football next season?

Relegation

Those teams in danger of relegation have more to lose by playing again than those at the top. What happened with those bottom six clubs and how, ultimately, were they persuaded to continue? How do we see the battle at the bottom and who do we think will avoid the drop?

Champions League/ FA Cup

The Champions League is set to be concluded later on this summer, with discussions ongoing over one city potentially hosting the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final. The FA Cup is also scheduled to conclude over the next six weeks or so. How are the main title contenders shaping up in Europe and will the FA Cup be better suited to football in these current circumstances? We will discuss all of this and more.
