FA Cup games

A look at whether yellow and red cards in the 2022/23 FA Cup carry over to the Premier League.

The Belgium international was sent off before Stevenage mounted a dramatic comeback at Villa Park and was forced to sit out the visit of Leeds United in the Premier League the following week. This is no longer the case. Since the 2019/20 campaign, yellow cards in English domestic football are contained to the competition they were awarded in. The same rule extends across England's domestic competitions. Yet, the rules of these interlinked competitions can be difficult to extract - especially after undergoing excessive tinkering in recent years. Since 2004, there has been just one finalist from outside England's top flight (Cardiff City lost to Portsmouth in 2008).
