Gary Neville has already shared his scathing verdict on the five substitutions rule that is set to be installed by the Premier League for next season. Clubs are poised to make a U-turn after rebuffing heavy calls for the past two years to follow other leagues and make the change.
In the midst of the devastating Covid-19 pandemic, Manchester United and Manchester City and their top flight counterparts were allowed to make five alterations during top-flight matches at the end of the 2019/2020 campaign. That temporary measure came into place after resumption through Project Restart.
However, while other European leagues and the EFL opted for a permanent change to five subs, each Premier League club can still only make three substitutions this season. The issue is due to be voted on, once again, during an impending meeting for stakeholders in London tomorrow.
