English Premier League footballers will be putting their EA SPORTS FIFA 20 skills to the test in the inaugural ePremier League invitational tournament.

A host of familiar faces are going head to head as they represent their clubs in a knockout tournament from the comfort of their own homes from 21 April.

The prize fund is being donated to the #PlayersTogether initiative, which was created by Premier League players as a collective way of generating funds for the UK's National Health Service and distributing them where they are needed most.

The tournament will also continue to urge everyone to follow official advice by staying home and saving lives as the world battles the COVID-19 pandemic.

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters said: "The thoughts of everyone at the Premier League are with all those directly affected by COVID-19.

"In response to the pandemic, the League, our clubs and players are providing valuable support for communities.

"We are also aware of the importance of finding new ways to entertain fans at this time and we are excited to bring together a strong line-up of players for the ePremier League Invitational tournament."
