Five substitutes will be allowed in the FA Cup from the third round stage as the pressure continues to mount on the Premier League.
The FA has voted to follow suit from UEFA and European major leagues by allowing an extra two subs to be used during matches, while the topflight clubs in England have refused to budge on the matter with the 'Big Six' and the rest continuing to squabble.
This means that Premier League clubs will be allowed to use five substitutes in major European competitions and now the FA Cup, according to the Sun, but still not the league.
