The premier league has introduced a New rule into the game of football, that will take effect at the league this 2019/20 season.
The premier league will use the head-to-head record between sides who are level on points to determine their league position in a bid to avoid the need for an end of season play-off.
Head-to-Head on football simply means comparing results between teams over time. For example. Brazil have a better head-to-head than Germany. They have played each other 22times with 12 wins for the Brazilians and 5 wins for the Germans and 5 draws. If this head-to-head record is being applied, as how its being introduced into the premier league. Brazil will be ahead of Germany.
The new rule has been introduced into the premier league and will take effect in the 2019/20 season, this rule will only take effect if teams are level on points, goal difference and goal scored.
Under the previous rule, when teams are levelled on these 3 criteria mentioned above, they will be forced to take part in a play-off to determine which one took the higher position.
But with this Head-to-Head rule introduction, it will now come into effect in this type of scenario, with the team with the most Head-to-Head record taking the higher place.
If the sides are still level on points in their head-to-head record, the team with the most away goals, in the matches played between them finish higher.
If the teams also are still at the same level of away goals in their matches played, then the teams will be seperated by a play-off, which will take place at a neutral venue, with the format, timing and venue to be determined by the premier league.
This rule will be applied to premier league teams, fighting for the league tittle, European qualification and as well as sides battling against relegation.
