Watford boss fears Premier League looking like 'American sitcom'

Watford coach Nigel Pearson fears gimmicks such as piping in crowd noise to legislate for absent fans at grounds risks turning the Premier League into an "American sitcom". All games in the Premier League, which resumed on Wednesday after a three-month suspension due to the coronavirus, are being played behind closed doors as part of strict health protocols. "What we have got to do is just deal with the situation, our stadium will be the same as every other stadium - no supporters," said Pearson ahead of his team's home game against former club Leicester on Saturday.
