The Carabao Cup final is almost here, but as the excitement builds, many fans are wondering what will happen to the match if it ends all square after 90 minutes.
The answer is that if the score-line is level after 90 minutes, the match WILL go to extra-time and then penalties if necessary, to determine the winner for the night.
In the earlier rounds of the competition, matches go straight to penalties if both teams cannot be separated after regular time.
In the recent quarter-final matches, two ties needed penalties to decide the winner.
Everton and Fulham could not be separated after 90 minutes, with the score level at 1-1. Fulham emerged victorious, winning 7-6 on penalties at Goodison Park.
The Chelsea vs. Newcastle match also needed penalties, with Chelsea defeating their Premier League rivals 4-2, to secure their spot in the semi-finals.
Last year’s final saw Manchester United beat Newcastle 2-0 at Wembley to lift their sixth League Cup.
This year’s final will be contested between two Premier League sides, Liverpool and Chelsea.
Liverpool is aiming for a record-extending League Cup win, as they seek their tenth triumph in the competition.
This sets the stage for an exciting final showdown between two powerhouse teams.
