    Chelsea set to promote ex-Arsenal kid Omari Hutchinson to first-team squad after telling him not go on Jamaica duty

    Hutchinson has already been earning rave reviewsCredit: Rex
    The 19-year-old forward is very highly rated and has even been compared to Raheem Sterling.
    He hit the headlines last month after scoring a brilliant solo goal to help the Under-21s beat Leyton Orient 3-2.
    Now Chelsea supporters could get a chance to see him in first-team action in the Carabao Cup clash with Manchester City on November 9.
    Hutchinson, who has represented England at U17 and U19 level, won his first cap for Jamaica back in May.

    Now he has been invited to play for them in their upcoming friendly this week against World Cup-bound Cameroon.
    However, The Athletic state that Chelsea have informed the teen not to report for duty with Reggae Boys.
    And the game against City, which takes place on the same night as the Cameroon match, was an important factor in the Blues’ decision.
    Graham Potter, and his opposite number Pep Guardiola, are both set to heavily rotate their squads for the cup showdown.

    That is likely to see Hutchinson involved after he was an unused sub in last week’s 4-1 drubbing at Potter’s old club Brighton.
    The attacker has scored six times and produced six assists in his 14 appearances in the Premier League 2 and EFL Trophy.
    And even though he has been capped by Jamaica, as it was only in a friendly, he still has the option to switch his international allegiance back to England. More

    Prem clubs ‘considering plans to SCRAP FA Cup replays and could play U21 sides in League Cup’ in ‘New Deal for Football’

    PREMIER LEAGUE clubs are reportedly considering plans to SCRAP replays in the FA Cup.This idea forms part of a “New Deal for Football”, which could also see sides play U21 sides in the Carabao Cup.
    FA Cup third and fourth round replays could be axed permanently from 2024Credit: Getty
    The Times claims the proposals are at the heart of talks at Wednesday’s Premier League shareholders’ meeting.
    Discussions will take place over ideas to potentially deliver £250million in extra funds to the EFL while also reforming parachute payments.
    And one proposal is to permanently cut FA Cup replays in the third and fourth rounds from 2024.
    This would see those games go straight to penalty shoot-outs – therefore providing lower league sides with a greater opportunity of progressing past top-flight clubs.
    READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
    It would also help free up space in the calendar for Premier League outfits.
    But the FA must first give their blessing before any reform goes ahead.
    Third and fourth round replays have already been axed for the past two years following the backlog from Covid.
    And they could yet be cut again this year to stop a fixture pile-up after games were postponed in the wake of the Queen’s death.
    Most read in Football
    As for the Carabao Cup, teams playing in Europe could field their U21s in a bid to freshen up the competition – or even withdraw entirely.
    Top-flight sides are happy for the Cup not to be scrapped, and they will also not force FA Cup games to only go ahead in midweek.
    The ideas all come after the government warned the Premier League must provide a major cash injection for the EFL with a new deal – or else be forced to do so.
    New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has already had his say on how to provide funds for the football pyramid.

    Boehly has suggested hosting an annual North vs South All-Star match.
    However, the American’s idea has been met by a host of ridicule from doubters. More

    Fans all say same thing as Aston Villa release clip of Douglas Luiz scoring corners in training before Carabao stunner

    FOOTBALL fans have ridiculed Aston Villa after they shared footage of Douglas Luiz scoring from a corner in training… following his identical goal in the Carabao Cup.Steven Gerrard’s side beat League One side Bolton 4-1 on Tuesday night as they comfortably progressed through to the third round of the competition.

    Villa showed just how similar the two goals were through a split-screen clipCredit: @AVFCOfficial
    They had fallen behind midway through the first half as Wanderers went in front through Dion Charles.
    But 12 minutes later the Premier League outfit drew level in quite incredible fashion.
    The University of Bolton Stadium watched on as Luiz’s corner swung all the way over those in the box and into the net beyond keeper Joel Dixon.
    At first glance, it seemed like a fluke.

    But on Wednesday morning, Villa’s official Twitter account posted a split screen clip of Luiz’s goal and him doing the same in training.
    The two videos were almost identical as Luiz curled the ball into the net from the most ludicrous of angles.
    Luiz also managed to net the same corner-kick goal in pre-season against Walsall.
    However, fans on social media were confused as to why Villa had shown other teams their tactic and utilised it in a cup game of little importance.

    One said: “You wasted this on a Carabao game?”
    While another added: “And then put it on social media for all to see. Genius.”
    And a third called on the team to practice other parts of the game instead, saying: “Can we now start practicing defending set pieces? Thanks.”
    Villa have lost two of their opening three Premier League games of the season against Bournemouth and Crystal Palace.
    They did beat Everton, but are still down in 13th place.
    Next up for Gerrard’s men is a home match against West Ham, before they face Arsenal and Manchester City. More
