SKY SPORTS: PREM MATCHES / MOVED / CROWDS TO RETURN

The English Premier League to move fixtures to allow fans to attend.

The Premier League plans to have fans in grounds at the final two rounds of matches this season, says chief executive Richard Masters.

Up to 10,000 supporters will be allowed into stadiums from Monday, 17 May provided the government is able to stick to its scheduled roadmap.




To maintain a competitive balance and ensure all 20 clubs get to play a home game with fans present, a round of fixtures will be shifted to 18-20 May.

The final round of games is on 23 May.

"Hopefully the final two fixtures of our season will have up to 10,000 supporters in them all," said Masters.

"We've got to go past those first initial steps in the government's roadmap to get there, so hopefully that will be a fantastic finale to end the season."

The Premier League has two realistic options for the fixture shuffle.

One would be to shift the 36th round of games from Tuesday, 11 May and Wednesday, 12 May to the following week.

The other would be for those matches to be moved to the following weekend - which coincides with the FA Cup final on Saturday, 15 May - and the 37th round being nudged on by a few days to become a midweek round.

Supporters returning to grounds would be a positive end to what has been a tough period for the Premier League.

Regardless of what league it is it will be 2022 before fans will be allowed to attend games in Wales.
