Arsenal will be the first team to welcome fans back to their ground, when they take on Rapid Vienna in the Europa League at the Emirates on Thursday, December 3.
A Premier League statement said earlier this week: "Fans have been greatly missed at Premier League matches and therefore we welcome the prime minister's announcement regarding the return of supporters for the first time since March, albeit at small numbers."
"Our ambition remains to work with government to increase attendance to more substantial levels. Until this can be done, many fans will be unable to attend games and our clubs will continue to operate matches at a financial loss."
"Our priority continues to be the agreement of a roadmap, with DCMS and the Sports Technology and Innovation Group, for pilot events that can help our clubs quickly scale up to larger capacities in line with the Sports Ground Safety Authority's Covid-secure guidelines and beyond."
"Premier League clubs have a proven track record of achieving high-biosecurity standards and we believe we can play a significant role in the Government's rapid turnaround testing initiative. We look forward to working with government on their next steps."
