According to domestic media reports, the FA are hoping that the UK government will allow fans to attend the game at the country's national soccer stadium.
The Premier League resumed action on June 17 after a three-month hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the final round of games in the 2019/20 season was played this past Sunday. No fans were allowed to attend any of the matches when the season got back underway.
In June, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said that some fans may be allowed to attend soccer games in England at the start of the 2020/21 season.
