Rule changes
No extra time
In the event of a draw in 90 minutes, matches (including the semi-finals, which were previously decided by an Away Goals Ruling if scores were level on aggregate after the second leg) will now go straight to penalties, in a bid to reduce the risk of fatigue and encourage teams to field stronger sides.
Extra time would come into effect if the Final ended as a draw after 90 minutes.
VAR
Last season, for the first time, a Video Assistant Referee was employed in the semi-finals and Final. This term, it will be used in all rounds played at Premier League grounds.
Penalty shoot-out format
Shoot-outs will no longer employ the ABBA format, and will instead revert back to the traditional ABAB system.
Bookings
Until now, five bookings in all domestic competitions would contribute to a one-match ban. However, the ruling has been amended to exclude League Cup cautions, which will only be relevant to that competition.
