The Premier League resumes on Wednesday - three months after the 2019-20 season was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic. ⚽️ Here are 11 things that will be different when football returns 👇
This zone, which includes the pitch, tunnel and technical areas, will be limited to 110 people.
These will be accessible to the remaining 222 people. They will include broadcasters, 25 written journalists and 15 radio broadcasters.All the remaining 92 matches will be available to watch on live TV, including 33 of these fixtures on free-to-air television. Teams are not allowed to enter the pitch side-by-side through the tunnel, so will either come out one at a time or through separate entrances.While almost all fixtures will now be played at clubs' own grounds rather than neutral venues, as some police chiefs had called for, home advantage will likely be negated by the lack of home fans.
Players have also been asked not to spit or clear their nostrils while playing and they will have to use hand sanitiser when entering or exiting the field of play.
