The football clubs have so many matches that the EFL has decided to remove extra time for all the rounds of the Carabao Cup.
There will not be 30 minutes of overtime if Chelsea and Tottenham are level after 180 minutes.
Instead, the game will go straight to the penalties to decide who will go to Wembley for the first national trophy of the season.
Having used the ABBA penalty format last season, the Carabao Cup has returned to the traditional punishment format.
The idea is that removing the extra time will reduce player fatigue.
Rule 14.5 of the tournament stipulates: "In the semi-final matches, if the total score is equal to the end of the second game, no extra time will be played and the tie will be determined by taking shots on goal in accordance with procedures approved by the IFAB. "
Neither is there a goal rule on the outside, which means that Tottenham's shot at Stamford Bridge does not count for double.
