VAR in use during the 2022 Carabao Cup final <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tonight\u2019s Carabao Cup quarter-finals will be played without VAR, which is only used from the semi-finals onwards in the competition.<\/p>\n
The VAR system is not used in the earlier rounds of the Carabao Cup as not all sides in the competition have access to the technology.<\/p>\n
The rule remains in place until the semi-finals, where the English Football League will provide VAR to a lower-league club if required.<\/p>\n
Chelsea knocked out Newcastle on penalties on Tuesday night as the Carabao Cup quarter-finals began, while Everton had the chance to do the same to Fulham – only for Amadou Onana to miss and the Cottagers to progress instead. Middlesbrough are the last non-Premier League side in the draw, after they beat Port Vale.<\/p>\n
This evening, Wednesday, Liverpool take on West Ham at Anfield in the last of the quarter-final ties.<\/p>\n
The draw for the semi-finals will take place at the conclusion of Liverpool vs West Ham. The last-four stage of the Carabao Cup will played across two legs in January, in the weeks commencing the 8th and 21st.<\/p>\n
Tonight\u2019s tie will also go straight to penalties should they finish as a draw after 90 minutes, with extra-time only coming into play from the semi-final stage of the competition.<\/p>\n
Tottenham were knocked out on penalties by Fulham earlier in the tournament, after the second-round match finished as a 1-1 draw following 90 minutes at Craven Cottage.<\/p>\n
Who is in the semi-final draw?<\/strong><\/p>\n Fulham<\/p>\n Chelsea<\/p>\n Middlesbrough<\/p>\n Liverpool or West Ham<\/p>\n
