Will fans be able to attend?
The EFL hopes so.
In confirming the decision, the EFL said: “It is the objective of the League to stage the final with as many supporters in attendance as possible and the decision has therefore been taken to move the final from its original date of Sunday 28 February 2021 to later in the year.
“The number of fans permitted will be dependent on Government guidance in place at the time and it is hoped that moving the date to later in the year will give clubs and their fans the best opportunity to attend in person.”
The December decision followed the introduction of new Tier 4 coronavirus restrictions in large parts of south-eastern and eastern England.
England has since gone into lockdown, with a review set for mid-February.
VAR – and more subs for final
Video Assistant Referees will be used in the final, as in the semi-finals.
The EFL has also agreed to increase the number of substitutes permitted.
Nine substitutes can now be named in the matchday squad, with five permitted to take to the pitch during the 90 minutes and extra-time if applicable.
Each team is only permitted a maximum of three opportunities (excluding half-time, full-time and half-time of extra-time) to make substitutions during normal time. However, if a tie goes to extra-time, an additional opportunity to use a substitute(s) will also be permitted but only from the five substitutes allowed.
