Professional footballers have given the players' union almost unanimous backing for strike action in the dispute over television income.

PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor revealed the vote was 99% in favour of a strike.

A decision on what form the industrial action will take is yet to be decided, but any match after 23 November could be affected as long as the PFA give the clubs seven days' notice.

The first high-profile game that could be affected is Arsenal v Manchester United on 25 November, but the Premier League have asked the PFA for a meeting on Monday to try to agree a compromise.

Of 2,496 ballot papers sent out to members, 2,315 were returned, with 2,290 in favour.
