Gary Lineker has called for Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope’s suspension from the Carabao Cup final against Manchester United to be changed, believing there is an "anomaly" within the laws of the domestic game.
Bans for red cards in domestic fixtures carry across all Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup competitions, meaning Pope’s one-match ban for his dismissal against Liverpool on Saturday applies for Sunday’s trip to Wembley.
The England shot-stopper was given his marching orders for handling outside of the area when trying to stop a Mohamed Salah breakaway, giving Eddie Howe a selection headache for next week.
