Is the Carabao Cup two legs? A number of people have asked this as the likes of Newcastle and Manchester United find themselves in the semi-final.
The Magpies recorded a 2-0 win over Leicester, while the Red Devils defeated Charlton 3-0 in the last eight of the League Cup.
Elsewhere, Southampton take on Manchester City and Nottingham Forest face Wolves as they compete to win the first domestic silverware up for grabs this season.
So, is the Carabao Cup two legs? Let’s take a look…
Is the Carabao Cup two legs?
At this stage of the competition, no.
The quarter-final is simply a one-off fixture in which the winner will be decided on the night, while there is also no extra-time this year around as per the Carabao Cup’s official website.
Therefore, the likes of Wolves and Manchester City will go straight to a penalty shootout to decide who progresses into the semi-final in their respective quarter-final ties.
At that stage of the Carabao Cup, there will be two legs involved.
Traditionally – this season included – the last four of the competition involves two legged affairs, with extra-time and penalties being played if the scores remain level after the two 90 minute games.
Each leg is played at the respective home grounds of those involved, as opposed to the FA Cup, which plays its semi-final at a neutral venue in Wembley Stadium.
Are there two legs in the Carabao Cup final?
