The FA, has announced that teams can now use a fourth substitute in extra-time from the quarter-final stages of this season's FA Cup. If a team has used three of their normal substitutions after 90 minutes, they will now be permitted to make one extra change if the scores are level at extra time.
"The Emirates FA Cup, is renowned for it's great history and tradition but, as the game's governing body, it is important the FA continues to look at how it can further add to the drama and spectacle of a competition loved by millions around the World" - The FA chief executive, Martin Glenn, said.
"With the Cup adopting a straight knockout format from the quarter finals onward, the introduction of a fourth substitute in extra time, will intrigue and interest. Also, from a technical point of view, it will be interesting to see how managers use the chance to make an additional substitution in such high-profile games and the impact it has on the final results".
