Premier League contemplating bringing back five substitutions with clubs told to expect a vote

Five substitutions are back on the Premier League's agenda - and could come into play next season.

Sportsmail understands that top flight clubs have been told to expect a vote at June's annual general meeting, with a captain's call on the matter scheduled for Tuesday.

The uplift from the existing three changes has the backing of the Professional Footballers' Association, and last week Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp reiterated his call for five subs to be permitted. Others in the top six share the German's stance, including Manchester City rival Pep Guardiola.
