Sheffield United remain against the Premier League increasing the number of substitutions allowed to five.

Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola both expressed their contempt for the Premier League not increasing the number amidst a condensed schedule due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Bigger clubs continue to lobby to get the rule changed, but the Blades are voting the other way once again.

"The 20 clubs have voted not once but twice to reject five subs," Stephen Bettis, CEO of Sheffield United told Sky Sports News. "The bigger clubs managed to find a way to have the vote held a second time - and again they lost.

"From the comments made this weekend, it suggests they simply will not rest until they get their way. Some of the injuries being talked about have nothing to do with the debate over five subs.

"So far this season clubs playing in Europe have endured a similar workload to clubs in the Championship and we don't hear them complaining, do we?

"Here at Bramall Lane, we have not seen an increase in muscle injuries.

"We remain suspicious that big clubs simply want to be able to sub off players to rest them to keep them fresh. Of course the bigger the club, the stronger the bench. Any change of rules mid-season will clearly affect the integrity of the league."
