The FA Cup doesn’t begin at the third round, but at the Extra Preliminary Qualifying stage, which took place on August 5th.

Luke Shaw, Tom Heaton, Kobbie Mainoo, Amad and Raphael Varane are all currently sidelined having played the majority of friendlies, while Tyrell Malacia is out having not featured in pre-season at all following his spell with the Netherlands. The Champions League is set to be expanded with ten group games from next season while FIFA has announced a bigger Club World Cup.
