Under the new rules that the British government unveiled for open-door sport venues, clubs in tier-1 and tier-2 areas are allowed to welcome up to 4,000 and 2,000 fans, respectively. Ten Premier League clubs can currently host 2,000 supporters under this system,.

Liverpool are keeping tabs on Sevilla goalkeeper Alfonso Pastor and might make their move for the 20-year-old next summer, per AS.
The Spanish shot-stopper was handed his debut by Julen Lopetegui for his side’s 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Chelsea in the Champions League yesterday. Defeat in the fixture ended the Spanish club’s hopes of topping the Group E and might see them draw a tough opponent in the R-16.
However, despite the underwhelming performances of those ahead of him in the Sevilla defense, Pastor was one of the few bright spots for Sevilla yesterday. The youngster made a string of decent saves and prevented the dismal score line from becoming humiliating.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are reportedly keeping a keen eye on the teenager, but they aren’t the only top outfit who are interested in acquiring his services, with Real Madrid also linked with the 20-year-old as he enters into the final few months of his Sevilla contract.
The former Arsenal manager has been away from management since leaving the Gunners after spending more than two-decades with the North London club.

They were reportedly hopeful that the arrival of Wenger would rejuvenate the side’s fortunes but the former Arsenal boss declined their offer.
