Premier League enforces 'Plan B' measures as fans at the Emirates for Arsenal versus West Ham show proof of Covid passports in one of many measures as football adapts to the rise of the omicron variant within England

The UK government's 'Plan B' measures were in full effect on Wednesday night as the Premier League looked to minimise the threat of coronavirus spreading.

Fans attending matches must complete a declaration to confirm they have had double vaccination or a negative Covid test before they arrive at stadiums, under Plan B arrangements.

The top flight has issued detailed guidance for fans, who will also have to show their NHS Covid Pass or proof of a negative test when they arrive at stadiums from tonight.

And that was evident on Wednesday night ahead of Arsenal's clash with London rivals West Ham.
