Tottenham have announced plans for 2,000 fans to attend the North London derby against Arsenal on December 6.

Spurs are one of 10 Premier League teams in level two areas, where up to 2,000 people are allowed in outdoor sports facilities after the lockdown in England ends on December 2.

The other 10 teams are all at level three, where fans are not allowed.

The Spurs said they will allocate tickets through a ballot only for season ticket holders and executive members.

It will be the first match in front of the spectators at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since the FA Cup fifth round match against Norwich on March 4.

Liverpool have also laid out plans for 2,000 fans to watch their Premier League match against Wolves at Anfield on the same day.

All fans will be seated in the main grandstand and the ballot will only be open to fans living in the Liverpool city region, an area that covers the districts of Liverpool, Halton, Knowsley, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral.

Applicants must be season ticket holders or members with at least 19 credits from the 2018-19 Premier League campaign.

Tottenham’s home game against Brighton in the Women’s Super League at The Hive in Barnet on December 6 will have a “limited fan capacity”, with more details below.

Arsenal will be the first Premier League club to host local fans, for their Europa League tie with Rapid Vienna on 3 December.

The first Premier League game to host fans could be West Ham v Manchester United on December 5, before Chelsea take on Leeds that same day.

West Ham manager David Moyes said the club is “really looking forward to a following” at London Stadium.

“We would have liked more, but it’s a start.”

“Hopefully the faster we can get to bigger numbers the better.

“The Spurs have also established their Covid-19 protocols for fans to observe when they attend games.

Starting 72 hours before kick-off, all attendees will receive a health questionnaire to complete and confirm that they currently have no coronavirus symptoms and will not travel to the game if they develop symptoms.

The club has also created a fan code of conduct that it will ask fans to agree to before requesting tickets.

Liverpool have similarly created a code of conduct to be released in the coming days, while fans are required to complete a health statement at the point of purchase of tickets.

What have other clubs decided? Arsenal: There will be no tickets for the Europa League game against Rapid Vienna at the Emirates Stadium on December 3, with a priority sale on a first-come, first-served basis for Gold and Premium members.

The Gunners will hold a ticket ballot for their game with Burnley on December 13 and for all subsequent Premier League games at home.

More information on the voting process will be available next week.

Everton: The ballot will only be open to season ticket and hospitality members.

Eligible fans will be contacted soon with details of the voting process for the upcoming game at Goodison Park against Chelsea on December 12.

Southampton: Tickets will be available to season ticket holders.

The club is still working on a method to distribute tickets and will provide information on how to be considered for selection soon.
