Find below some of the key changes to the new season 2022/23 Five substitutions fully introduced From the start of season 2022/23, the Premier League clubs will be permitted to use five substitutes to prosecute a match. Top-flight clubs voted in favor of the substitution rule change at a shareholder meeting of all 20 Premier League clubs. Five substitutes were originally introduced in May 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the league reverted to three subs for the 2020/21 season and this campaign. A Premier League statement said: "Premier League Shareholders met today and discussed a range of matters.

"Clubs agreed to change the rules relating to substitute players. From next season, clubs will be permitted to use five substitutions, to be made on three occasions during a match, with an additional opportunity at half-time. A total of nine substitutes can be named on the team sheet.

Peter Drury and Jim Beglin Partnership Broken

Ace commentator and poet, Peter Drury scintillating commentaries will be missed as he got a contract in the US.

Peter Drury will be heading to America to replace Arlo White as the lead commentator for NBC’s coverage of the Premier League. He will begin commentating on Premier League games for NBC Sports as soon as the new season commences on August 6, 2022.

The poetic commentator is beloved by fans across the world with the way he delivers his commentaries. He has over the years established a sort of partnership with fellow commentator Jim Beglin, but will now be commenting on the premier league in the United States of America.

Unsual Start To The season

This is like first time in ages that the premier league would be starting on a Friday. Arsenal visited Selhurst park home of Crystal palace on Friday August 5 and defeated them by 2-0.

Goals by Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka's forced own goal ensured the Gunners won all three point and climbed to the top of the log on the very first day of the season.

Winter World Cup and first half break

For the very first time in the history of the FIFA WorldCup and the English Premier League, there is going to be a radical change in calendar.

Unlike previous FIFA World Cups, which are typically played in June and July, the 2022 World Cup will be played in November and December to avoid the intense Qatari summer heat.

The 2022 World Cup is taking place in Qatar in the winter months rather than the usual summer ones, due to the heat. The tournament kicks off on Monday November 21 at the Al Thumama Stadium when Senegal take on the Netherlands in Group A, with England vs Iran being the second game of the tournament in Al Rayyan.

This means that the English Premier League will be on break during the WorldCup first time in the Premiership's history.

Retired EPL Referees

The expertise and controversies of few premiership referees will also be missed by all football lovers due to them hanging their whistle and embarking on retirement after dedicated years to service.

Kevin Friend has become the latest Premier league referee to retire, causing concerns about a lack of experienced officials at the top of English football.

Friend is the latest retiree this summer, the 50-year-old taking a management role with the referees' group, in charge of 'Select Group Two' referees who work in the Championship.

He joins Mike Dean, Jon Moss and Martin Atkinson in hanging up their whistles after the season ended in May, with 63 years of collective top-flight experience between them
