With supporters set to return to grounds this weekend, we take a look at how the Premier League table has looked without fans in stadiums.
Finally, football supporters return to stadiums in the Premier League this weekend after nine months of matches being played behind closed doors.
Some areas in the country that remain in tier 3 restrictions will have to wait a bit longer, but those in tier 2 can have up to 2,000 fans – and that number could well be increased by the end of 2020.
It has been a long time coming and, barring a couple of test events, we have got used to the sight of empty stands.
While it has given us an insight into what players say to each other during the game, it’s nothing compared to having the atmosphere of fans at the grounds.
