Carabao Cup rules | Spurs vs Man United | VAR, penalties

Tonight, we face Manchester United in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals - and there are a couple of rule changes affecting tonight's game.

As has been the case in the Carabao Cup for a number of seasons now, if the game finishes level come the end of the 90 minutes, the match will not go to a period of extra-time, it will instead go to penalties.

VAR is also not in operation at this stage of the competition meaning all decisions tonight will be in the hands of the on-field officials.

VAR will come into operation at the semi-final stage of the competition.

The draw for the competition's semi-finals will take place after the game with the draw held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The last four will be a two-legged affair for each semi-finals with the first legs played out in the week of 6 January and the return legs played in the week of 3 February.
