Carabao Cup semi-final stage WILL return to its regular two-legged format

The Carabao Cup semi-finals will return to being played over two legs next season, the EFL has confirmed.

The ties were played as one-off matches in the 2020-21 season after the coronavirus pandemic forced back the start of the campaign to September.

The semi-finals had previously been played over two legs since the League Cup's inception in 1960, and a spokesperson for the EFL told the PA news agency that the regular format has now been reinstated.
