THE FA Cup first round proper gets underway on Friday!
Last season, Crystal Palace claimed the prestigious silverware as the Eagles won their first-ever major trophy with a 1-0 win over Manchester City.
Now Arsenal midfielder Eberechi Eze fired the South Londoners to a historic victory at Wembley.
Palace became the 45th side to lift the iconic FA Cup and the first team to win it for the first time since Leicester in 2021.
Last season’s edition also saw a major rule change implemented for the first time ever, as replays were scrapped.
SunSport can reveal if replays make a return this term.
Are there replays in the FA Cup first round?
Traditionally, when FA Cup ties would end in a draw before the semi-finals, the two sides would play each other in a replay to decide which team would progress to the next round.
However, last season, replays were scrapped during the full rounds of football’s oldest competition.
The FA have opted to keep the same format in place this season, meaning games that are level after 90 minutes will go straight to extra-time and then potentially penalties.
Replays were used during the qualifying rounds of this season’s FA Cup.
