       And more than likely both managers will be absent due to corona.

       Looks like Hatzidakis has been replaced by Marc Perry. Oliver
       still down for Arsenal-Liverpool.

       Liverpool have requested postponement of the tie to the EFL
       today.
       The Football League are investigating their request.

       Attwell or Kavanagh for the final?
       I vote Attwell.

       Really don't get this.  If it is postponed it will have to be
       played in the next 4 weeks and they just won't have bandwidth to
       do it.  They had similar with the World Club Championship and
       played a reserve / youth team. struggling to see why they don't
       do the same here.

       Considering Klopp Mostly plays a second string side in cups
       anyway, I find this rather odd, Besides he’ll probably complain
       about fixture congestion if they decide to play in a few weeks.

       I was initially surprised they'd asked for the game to be
       postponed but then someone pointed out that they're unlikely to
       win the PL now, so this competition might have taken on more
       importance for them.
       Presumably they would use the next two midweeks to play the
       games.
       As for the final, I was thinking Kavanagh initially but Attwell
       could be a good shout - although might not be popular with
       Arsenal!
       The FA Cup final is also interesting - I think many of us had
       Pawson as the favourite for 19/20 before Covid changed
       everything so I always had him in my mind to referee the first
       FA Cup final with a full stadium again. But Paul Tierney has got
       more of the top games in the PL so perhaps also has a decent
       chance?

       I would be very surprised if Liverpool semi goes ahead as this
       then gives question marks over the fa cup tie on Sunday against
       Shrewsbury possibly being a 1 legged semi due to fixture
       congestion and the fa cup tie being rescheduled for when the 4th
       rd ties take place? any thoughts

       I still think Pawson will get the fa final, Getting Top Games
       Doesn’t usually determine the cup final referee (See Moss,
       Probert, etc) plus he’s had to wait so long for it, it just
       makes sense.
