The Premier League's 'big six' are set to be left frustrated regarding their plans to reduce the number of top-flight teams from 20 to 18.
In October, the Premier League descended into civil war following the controversial emergence of secret plans for a radical restructure hatched by both Liverpool and Manchester United - in what was dubbed Project Big Picture.
One of the dubious ideas put forward was restricting the number of teams in the Premier League, but these plans are expected to be snubbed ahead of Thursday's shareholders meeting between all 20 clubs, according to the Sun.
