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
