The International Football Association Board (IFAB) have confirmed that the rule which allows teams to use five substitutes can be used next season.
The Premier League will therefore have the option to keep the five-substitute rule for the 2020-21 campaign.
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has urged the English top flight to restore the maximum of three substitutions as he branded the revamped system 'nonsense'.
The alteration was brought in with the intention of helping players avoid injury while playing a relentless schedule to get the season done by July 25.
