Premier League clubs are to consider proposals to scrap FA Cup replays and make changes to the League Cup as part of a 'new deal' for football, according to a report.
A Premier League shareholders' meeting tomorrow (September 21) will set out the proposed new deal as well as plans to reform parachute payments for relegated clubs, according to The Times.
The report says that the proposals would see replays of the third and fourth round FA Cup games be scrapped from the 2024-05 season, although this would need to be agreed with the FA. The plans would also include clubs involved in European competitions not having to compete in the League Cup, or alternatively they could field teams of under-21 players.
