Too much football that's the issue and when forced to choose the FA Cup ranks below the Premier League. The top teams want to concentrate on winning the league or getting into Europe. The bottom teams have worst squad depth and want to stay in the league. Some Championship teams will be aiming to get into the Premier League.
There are fixtures tomorrow and Wednesday which forced a lot of teams to rest players.
