The new Premier League rules that will affect Crystal Palace

The 2019/20 Premier League season will see several elements of football altered, with changes being made to handballs, penalties, free-kicks, substitutions, drop balls, as well as red and yellow cards.

Penalties

Despite requests from rivals for Luka Milivojevic to take penalties blindfolded, the alterations to the opportunity from 12-yards are as follows:

  • Goalkeepers must keep at least one part of one foot on the goal-line when a penalty is taken (basically, the footballing governing bodies want to stop ‘keepers coming off their line a split-second before the player takes the penalty).
