The Football Association (FA) will also hold a scheduled council meeting this week when the issue is also expected to be raised. The proposals would give more power to the big Premier League clubs, reducing the top division from 20 teams to 18 for the 2022-23 season and scrapping the League Cup and Community Shield. A precise date has not been agreed for this week's meeting of Premier League clubs, which will be online. Any changes to the Premier League's structure need the support of 14 of the 20 clubs.
