Short and sweet as fans to miss out in London after Tier 3 restrictions Sport in London will have to move back behind closed doors after the capital was placed into the highest tier of coronavirus restrictions. Only a fortnight ago it was announced that up to 2,000 fans were allowed into football matches for the first time since March, when London was initially placed in Tier 2 following the second lockdown. But the move into Tier 3 from Wednesday means the capital’s stadiums will once again be empty. West Ham hosted 2,000 fans when they played Manchester United at the London Stadium last weekend. But their home match against Crystal Palace on Wednesday night will be behind closed doors, as will the matches at Arsenal and Fulham. In fact the only midweek Premier League fixture to have a crowd will be the top-of-the-table clash at Anfield, when Liverpool meet Tottenham. As of Wednesday only Liverpool, Everton, Brighton and Southampton in the top flight will be allowed 2,000 fans, until the restrictions are eased.
