Carabao Cup RULE CHANGES
The 2018/19 Carabao Cup will look a little bit different to past editions. Here are the rule changes for this year's competition...
Extra-time has been scrapped in all rounds except for the final in a bid to "reduce fatigue issues".
Any tie that finishes level at full-time will head straight to penalties and the ABBA system has been ditched, meaning spot-kicks will be taken in the traditional format.
Seeding has been removed for the first two rounds, though the first round has remained organised on a regional basis.
VAR will also be used in the competition - but only for matches played at Premier League grounds.
