FOREST GREEN will want to hit the right notes if tonight’s Carabao Cup first round home tie against MK Dons goes to a penalty shoot-out.
A new 'ABBA' system, which mirrors the format of a tie break in tennis, will be used in the Carabao Cup, Checkatrade Trophy and Play-Offs.
Arsenal created British football history by winning the first penalty shoot-out held under the new 'ABBA' format in the Charity Shield win over Chelsea.
Teams taking the first kick in each pair of attempts alternate - AB BA AB BA and so on in-stead of AB AB AB AB
