Premier League Clubs To Debate Extra Substitutes

It is understood that next month Premier League clubs will discuss increasing the numbers of substitutes allowed on match days, from seven to nine.   Clubs will still only be allowed to use three substitutes - but we understand Manchester United and Chelsea are leading the push to add another two subs to the bench.


The proposals will be discussed at the Premier League's AGM in June. This will be the first shareholders meeting for some time for Burnley, Middlesbrough and either Hull or Sheffield Wednesday.  


Other changes for the next campaign will include a brand new substitute board - complete with a new sponsor in Tag Heuer. Nike will launch the new 2016-2017 Premier League ball later this summer and the new Premier League logo will be seen everywhere including on the sleeves of all players and without the Barclays logo after the title sponsorship deal came to an end.
