The Police have informed the Premier League that they have no issues with the majority of matches being played at their original venues.
However, they have raised concerns over the hosting of a small number of high-profile fixtures, amid concerns of supporters gathering outside, and expressed a desire to see them played at neutral sites.
That information is expected to be fed back to clubs at today’s top flight meeting, which is ongoing.
Police feel that as long as their costs are covered and clubs provide stewarding to ensure they can deal with potential issues, most matches can be played at their existing stadiums.
But there are fears that key matches – at both ends of the table – may well cause issues should they remain at the original sites.
The final decision is down to the government, in conjunction with the Premier League. However, they are likely to strongly lean on the advice of the police and local safety advisory groups, made up of clubs, emergency services and local authorities.
The move opens the door for the hybrid model – a mix of home and away and neutral venues – revealed by Sportsmail earlier this week.
