Arsenal will be the first Premier League club to welcome fans for a competitive fixture since March after confirming 2,000 spectators will be allowed in for their Europa League match against Rapid Vienna on December 3.
England will return to a regional tiered system when the national coronavirus lockdown ends on December 2, with those areas suffering the worst case rates entering the highest Tier 3.
Most of the country, including London, will enter into Tier 2, allowing 2,000 fans to attend sports events.
An Arsenal statement read: “While we appreciate that reduced-capacity matches will be far from being ‘back to normal’, we can’t wait to welcome our fans back home for what will be a historic moment for the club.”
West Ham’s match against Manchester United on December 5 is set to be the first Premier League game to open its doors to supporters.
Brighton, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Liverpool are the other teams in tier-two areas hosting games that weekend.
