Fans will now get extra notice for team news, as clubs will now publish their starting XI and subs' bench 75 minutes before kick-off.

This rule change brings the Premier League in line with UEFA competitions and if you want to read the full details behind the change, head to Rule L.23 of the Premier League Handbook.
Teams can now have up to five substitutes warming up on the perimeter of the pitch at some time, up from the previous limit of three. This is being introduced because teams will now be able to make five substitutions at any time.
The multi-ball system is being sped up, with 'ball assistant' now able to return a ball directly to a player, rather than place it on a vacant cone.
