Premier League make U-turn on substitution rule after Jurgen Klopp complaints

During Project Restart, teams were allowed to make five changes during each game, in three separate periods. But that rule was dropped ahead of the 2020/2021 season, with clubs only permitted to make three subs per match since then.
