FA Cup replays will be dropped for the Quarter-Finals next season.
The Football Associaton have amended the competitiion rules and now the eight competing teams in four matches over one weekend will play those matches to a finish on the day with extra-time and penalties to decide the winner.
The FA chief executive Martin Glenn said in a press statement: “The Emirates FA Cup remains at the heart of English football and this change adds to the excitement of the competition and will benefit the wider game in general.
“In a demanding calendar and with increased pressures on fans, it is important we move with the times and consider new innovations such as last week’s successful Non-league finals day which saw 50,000 fans at Wembley for the Vase and Trophy.
“While fully respecting tradition and history, this new development will help the Cup retain its status as a much-loved and world-renowned competition.”
