If you ain't got a clue to what's happening in tomorrows Carabao Cup then you might want to read this.........................
At the EFL Summer Conference, held back in June, clubs were in favour of removing extra time from the competition. That means that, should Forest’s first round tie be level after 90 minutes, the game will go straight to penalties.
This change was introduced to try and improve player welfare, with a statement from the EFL stating: “The rationale put forward by the EFL is that withdrawing the additional 30 minutes of play would directly address any additional fatigue issues that are occasionally caused when the midweek ties go beyond the traditional 90-minute period.”
Furthermore, the format of penalties has also changed - with the ABBA trial utilised last season scrapped with a return to the traditional ABAB taking format now in place.
Clubs also voted to remove the seeding element from the first two rounds of the competition, meaning that a club like 'The Stags' could face a side from any division should they progress. While it won’t be an issue in the first round, VAR can also be used in Carabao Cup ties played in Premier League stadiums this season.
