A press report stated that the English Football Association Professional Cup, may be canceled next season.
The newspaper "Daily Mail" that the main reason for this is to study the increase in the number of teams participating in the Premier League from 20 to 23 teams, if it is not completed this season due to the epidemic of the Corona virus.
With 44 rounds in the league, the club schedule will be crowded next year, and the season will be longer. The League Cup is less important in England than the FA Cup, and therefore can be canceled.
And the Premier League clubs are still hoping to resume this season, in mid-June. According to the newspaper "Daily Mail", some club officials have expressed doubts about this happening, and that there should be some reservations among the players.
Therefore, the current speculation revolves around finding a solution in which there is no relegation from the Premier League, while teams from the first division are escalated, based on the "performance-based points system". Six teams landed in the 2021-2022 season.
