There is no extra-time in the Carabao Cup until the semi-final. All ties before the last four go straight to penalties if level after 90 minutes. But if the score is level on aggregate at the end of the two-legged semi-final, an extra 30 minutes will be played with no away goals rule. That will be followed by penalties if there is still nothing to seperate them. This is the same with the final at Wembley. Most read in Sport Comment now
