Will Carabao Cup second round ties go to extra-time and penalties?
If the scoreline is level after 90 minutes, NO extra-time will be played.
The winners will be determined by a penalty shootout straight after the final whistle.
Extra-time is only used in the Carabao Cup from the second leg of the semi-finals and onwards.
