The EFL Cup Final is likely to cause two Blank fixtures in Gameweek 26.
GW26 fixtures will definitely become Blanks if either club reaches the EFL Cup Final and if either club reaches the FA Cup 5th Round (which is in the midweek after the EFL Cup Final).
Six Premier League sides have reached the EFL Cup QFs* so the following six GW26 fixtures are at risk of become Blanks:
Arsenal vs Newcastle*
Brighton vs Everton*
Chelsea* vs Spurs
Liverpool* vs Luton
Man Utd vs Fulham*
West Ham* vs Brentford
These four GW26 fixtures aren't at risk of becoming Blanks:
Villa vs Forest
Bournemouth vs Man City
Palace vs Burnley
Wolves vs Sheffield Utd
