Right then, as promised, let's hear from Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta...

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants Manchester United to seal top spot in their Champions League group by doing the double over Paris St-Germain tonight.

United, three points clear at the top, only need a point from their remaining two matches to secure a last-16 place.

But Solskjaer wants his side to wrap up the group before their final game at RB Leipzig on 8 December by beating last season's Champions League runners-up.

"Our mindset is win this game and we've won the group," the United boss added.

Manager Frank Lampard suggested he might rotate his Chelsea squad for Wednesday's Champions League match against Sevilla, with midfielder Billy Gilmour expected to feature.

Both teams have qualified for the last 16, and victory for either is likely to mean they would finish top of Group E.

"We're not taking it lightly, even though we're through," said Lampard.

"I don't expect a drop in level, but there will be a chance for some players to get some minutes."

LostSock: I'm mixed. Nice to see a small piece of normality returning, yet I don't think it's fair some teams will have a small amount of support and some teams won't have any, seems an unfair advantage albeit a smallish one. My team is one that's allowed fans, so it's not sour grapes.

We're also due to hear from Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta shortly, ahead of his side's Europa League game with Rapid Vienna on Thursday.

The Gunners boss is under mounting pressure after the club's worst start to a season since 1981.

Stay tuned for updates...

Speaking ahead of tonight's matches, EFL chairman Rick Parry said he was confident the return of a limited number of fans would go well.

"I don't think fans have to be told how to behave," he said. "I would just say welcome - and enjoy.

"It is definitely a day to celebrate. It feels like forever since we last had fans.

"We are nowhere near normal; we are miles off that. But every journey starts with the first step and this is a really important one."

So what are going to be some of the key difference for supporters inside stadiums tonight?

• Fans will be told to arrive at stadiums early.
• Social distancing must be observed.
• Fans will be advised against using toilet facilities 'at peak times' - at half-time and the end of the game.
• Supporters are being asked to avoid 'unnecessary movement' and stay in their seats throughout the game 'if possible'.
• They should also 'maintain safe distances' during goal celebrations.

As we've been told since the beginning of the pandemic, older members of the public are more vulnerable to the disease.

And that is reflected in the poll, which shows more than half of fans aged 55 and over (52%) said they would never return to matches in person before a vaccine is available, compared with 29% of fans aged 35-54 and 14% of supporters aged 18-34.

More than a third (36%) of fans aged 18-34 would return in person to football matches frequently, in comparison to just three in 10 aged 35-54 (28%) or one in seven aged 55+ (14%).

Some more graphic data now to brighten up your morning!

It appears like it's quite an even split between who fans think should have to bear the brunt of the pandemic.

However, 28% of you think it should be the leagues, while 24% think the responsibility lies with the FA.

Moving away from the return of fans briefly now, let's have a look at some of the biggest transfer rumours doing the rounds this morning:

• Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are monitoring Brighton's English defender Ben White, 23. (Sky Sports), external
• Barcelona are tracking Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi, 28, and Chelsea's fellow Germany centre-back Antonio Rudiger, 27. (Mundo Deportivo - in Spanish), external
• Arsenal and Tottenham are among several clubs interested in Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, 20, with RB Leipzig, AC Milan and Atletico Madrid also keen on the Hungary international. (Eurosport), external

While some fans will be returning to EFL games this evening, the Premier League will have to wait until the weekend before they can welcome supporters back to stadiums.

With London in Tier 2, Tottenham are busy preparing for around 2,000 fans to attend the biggest game of all on Sunday.

Spurs host local rivals Arsenal in the north London derby, and here is captain Harry Kane talking about the fans' return.

In a Savanta ComRes poll of 2,100 football fans, 52% said they should be allowed to return to watch matches in person before a vaccine is available, while 45% said they should not.

The poll also shows:

• About half of football fans who regularly attended matches before the pandemic said they would return to watch their team regularly before a vaccine was available, while 12% said they would never go back without a vaccine.
• 28% said they cared more about their team now than before the Covid-19 pandemic.
• Younger fans (18-34)were more likely to say they cared more for their club since the coronavirus outbreak.
• Fans are split over who should bear the financial responsibility of ensuring clubs' survival.
