The proposals are believed set to be top of the agenda and the Premier League shareholders' meeting on Wednesday, and it will set out changes to the calendar as a deal to reform parachute payments for relegated clubs and funds distributed to the EFL, according to The Times.

The report says that the proposals from 2024 would see replays of the third and fourth round FA Cup games be scrapped, but this would need to be agreed with the FA.
