FA Cup final set for 1 August

The FA Cup final will take place on Saturday 1 August, although this is "dependent on all safety measures being met" according to Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham.

The quarter-finals have been rescheduled for the weekend of 27-28 June with the semi-finals set for 11-12 July.

Venues and times have yet to be confirmed.

The schedule for the quarter-finals, which was originally drawn on 9 March, is:

Leicester City v Chelsea
Newcastle United v Manchester City
Sheffield United v Arsenal
Norwich City v Manchester United
On Thursday it was announced that the Premier League is set to return on 17 June with two fixtures being played.

You cant have the final without crowds! It just doesn't seem right. The final is an occasion not just a match. Far better to either scrap it this year or play the rest of the games behind closed doors but leave the for final later in the year when hopefully crowds are allowed back.

On this one I agree and I'm a tad surprised that the FA Cup hasn't been 'binned' like other major comps for this season; but I guess the money men of football are dictating the pace right now...
