Premier League clubs in Liverpool and London will be able to welcome some supporters back into their stadiums after the Government announced which tiers different areas of the country will be in after the end of the second lockdown.
A long list of Premier League clubs,
including Manchester City, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Newcastle and
Leicester will be unable to have fans back in person, however.
Supporters of Burnley, Leeds, Sheffield United, West Brom and Wolves will also have to wait longer before any of them can cheer their teams on inside their grounds.
Greater Manchester is among the areas that will remain in Tier 3
- classified as 'Very High' risk and the only tier which does not allow
any fans to attend matches - when the new regulations come into effect
on December 2.
Merseyside has dropped down to Tier 2, though, meaning reigning
champions Liverpool and Everton can welcome back 2,000 supporters into
their stadiums, as long as they continue to follow strict COVID-19
safety measures.
That would see supporters inside Anfield for the first time since March when Liverpool face Wolves at home in the Premier League on December 5.
Four more of next week's Premier League fixtures - Spurs vs Arsenal, West Ham vs Manchester United, Chelsea vs Leeds and Brighton vs Southampton - will also have a strictly limited number of fans in attendance.
