There is no ‘Away Goals’ rule in the Carabao Cup semi-finals. That means that, if the aggregate score is level after the second leg, the match will go to extra time (the first stage of the competition that extra time is active) and then penalties if needed.

Nottingham Forest play Manchester United in the other last four encounter.

The final of this year’s competition is set to take place on Sunday, February 25.
