All Premier League teams will play games behind closed doors again after Liverpool and Everton became the last two clubs not permitted to have fans in attendance. Both teams had been allowed 2,000 fans at home games since December 2 but that has changed after the Liverpool City Region moved into Tier 3.

Liverpool and Everton will both play home games behind closed doors after the Liverpool City Region was placed into Tier 3 of Britain's Covid-19 restrictions.
The clubs were the last two in the Premier League admitting fans as the area had been in Tier 2 since December 2.
However, that has now changed with the latest government restrictions and all 20 Premier League teams will again play behind closed doors.
Liverpool play their next three games away from Anfield but their home match against Manchester United on January 17 will be played without fans.

Under Tier 3 restrictions, all professional sporting events will be played behind closed doors until further notice.
