The Premier League is back tonight, with clubs preparing for the return of full capacity crowds for the first time since March 2020.

The easing of Covid restrictions means stadiums will have no social distancing measures in place in the stands.

However, there remains uncertainty over whether so-called "vaccine passports" will be introduced from October.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced last month there was a plan to make proof of full vaccination mandatory from the end of September at venues where "large crowds gather", potentially including sporting venues with capacities of 20,000 or more.

Earlier this week, the Premier League revealed new matchday protocols for the 2021-22 season, stating fans "must be prepared to prove" they are fully vaccinated or have had a negative Covid test in the previous 48 hours.

Fans must also follow a new "supporter code of conduct" which includes wearing masks indoors, avoiding close contact and following one-way systems.
