And now, following the end of the Government's second lockdown period, some clubs will be bringing a limited amount of supporters back into the stadiums for the first time this season.
West Ham's clash with Ole Gunnar Solskajer's Manchester United at the London stadium will be the first fixture screened with fans back in the stadium, along with Chelsea's match with Leeds United which also falls on December 5.
The North London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal will be staged with a small portion of fans a day later, with the game kicking off at 4:30pm on Sky Sports.
The tier system for the nation following the end of the lockdown period has been announced, meaning those cities in tier 2 are permitted to allow a minor number of fans inside the ground.
Cities such as Manchester currently find themselves placed in tier 3, though London is to be a tier 2 city from December 2.
