The Premier League's 'top six' clubs are reportedly pushing for the biggest shake-up of English football for a generation.
The Times claim that the Premier League, FA and EFL will meet on Friday to discuss proposals from the top-flight clubs, which include dramatic changes to the FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Community Shield. The report adds that the changes could include scrapping FA Cup replays and moving the Community Shield from its traditional position as the curtain-raiser to the season.
Meanwhile, the Carabao Cup rules could be changed so that clubs in European competitions only field junior sides. It is said that the shake-up has been branded by the Premier League as part of what it calls "A New Deal For Football".
