Premier League chiefs 'called to extraordinary meeting on Friday' as UEFA 'bids to fend off threat of European Super League by reforming Champions League into small groups with teams playing 10 matches in a new system from 2024'

The Premier League and other domestic leagues across Europe will gather on Friday to discuss proposals for a new-look Champions League from 2024, the PA news agency understands.

An extraordinary general meeting of all leagues affiliated to the European Leagues group will be convened to discuss a UEFA proposal to reform the continent's most prestigious competition and head off the threat of a European Super League.

UEFA is understood to have proposed the scrapping of the existing format of eight 'mini-league' groups of four and to replace it with one league where each team plays 10 matches in a so-called 'Swiss system'.
