When will the FA Cup third round replays be played?
Last season, in an unprecedented move, the FA said that there would be no replays played at the quarter-final stage.
If games are level after normal time then it will go to extra-time and penalties if necessary.
However, as it stands, replays will continue to take place in the earlier rounds of the competition.
Replays for the third round of the FA Cup will be played on 16th & 17th January 2018.
