FA Cup: Replays of third, fourth rounds of the FA Cup scrapped

The FA Cup may undergo significant modifications that will have an impact on the competing teams.

The BBC reports that the Football Association is almost ready to completely axe the round three and round four replays.

This would imply that games that are tied after 90 minutes would likely proceed to overtime and/or penalty shootouts.

The decision is expected to have a severe effect on lower league clubs because they frequently host replays as a way to make money.

According to the article, the single-leg contest would replace the two-legged Carabao Cup semifinals.
