EFL clubs have voted to allow teams five substitutions per match, starting on Friday, but the Premier League will continue with three substitutes. League One and League Two side can name up to seven substitutes in their matchday squad, with five permitted to take to the pitch. In August, Premier League clubs voted against allowing teams to make five substitutions per game in the 2020/21 season and the issue was voted on twice before start of the campaign - on both occasions clubs voted in favour of three subs. Premier League CEO Richard Masters told parliamentary inquiry last week he did not expect re-introduction of five subs "for foreseeable future."
