Who will be allowed inside stadiums as Premier League restarts without fans

The Premier League is looking to conclude the season following a three-month break due to coronavirus

The Premier League will restart tomorrow after a three-month hiatus due to coronavirus.

After the Bundesliga and recently La Liga picked up where they left off, it's now the turn of the Premier League to embrace games behind closed doors.

And while no fans will be permitted, there will still be a sizeable amount of people in attendance up and down the country.

Home advantage has almost halved without fans in terms of results over the first five rounds of fixtures back in Germany: dropping from 43.3 per cent home wins pre-lockdown to 21.7 per cent home wins since resuming the league.

Here we look at those select people needed at each of the remaining 92 fixtures to complete the campaign.
