How come no FA Cup matches have been postponed due to Covid?

No fewer than 35 league matches were called off due to Covid between Boxing Day and New Year's Day, but as things stand, not a single FA Cup match has gone the same way so far. With UK cases at an all time high this week, have all English football clubs suddenly got a clean bill of health? I can think of no other reason why they are all now happy to play when so many said they could not possibly do so last week.

(I'm being facetious for those without a sarcasm monitor)
 
We are talking about playing U23 and even younger players tomorrow - are there any restrictions for fielding players outside the 25 squad positions that are waived in cup rather than league?
 
I’m sure Wilder referred to us bringing Mansfield back to the Riverside, thought he was wrong at the time
 
So Leicester and Everton have no issues playing in the FA Cup this weekend but now their premier league game on Tuesday is postponed for a second time due to COVID, injuries and African Nations call-ups.

Money talks eh

Has little to do with Covid but certainly Leicester's injuries and 4 players at AFCON
 
There's going to be fixture madness at the end of all this. Will games continue to get called off when teams have loads of injuries and suspensions which are inevitable I would think.
 
Leicester getting pelters. Played and won comfortably on Saturday and game called off against Everton on Tuesday.

Looking at the list of missing players it's definitely not covid. You can't tell me they ain't bending the rules due to injuries and AFCON. Don't sign African players if you know they are going away every 2 years (think it's 2 years?).
 
The rules are slightly different for the FA cup and before Jan 1st they had squad rules but I agree it is very suspicious
