Guess that extra knockout round then takes the first two weeks of what was the four week round of 16 stage. Of course prior to that there was a six week second group stage. If they didn't have that and played the 8 matchdays over 8 weeks rather than 10 they wouldn't actually need any extra weeks.
The EFL have said this week the League Cup will continue but conceded the two-legged semi final would likely have to go and there would be a question mark over teams competing in Europe competing. Indeed suspect they'd quite like Liverpool to do the quadruple to put it's place in football in the spotlight.
P.S. Has the plan to have the semi finals in the week of the final and in the host city been confirmed too, or have they realised clubs would lose significant nights if they lost out on hosting semi finals?
