The Premier League will consider asking the government allow fans to attend top-flight matches before May 17, talkSPORT understands.

talkSPORT has been told up to 1,000 of the 10,000 tickets could be distributed to away fans subject to government approval.
Stadiums have not been at full capacity for over a year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Despite continuing positive discussions with the relevant stakeholders and authorities we do not have any confirmation as to what will be permitted as part of any potential test event at this stage and felt it important to clarify the position out of courtesy to the two participating clubs and particularly their supporters.
