Last season, the EFL trialled an ABBA format during penalties, where team A would take the first penalty, team B the second and third, team A the fourth and fifth and so on until each team had taken five.
However, shootouts will revert to the traditional format in which teams alternate their spot-kicks, the ruling body said.
Clubs will also no longer receive seedings in the first two rounds of the tournament, while all League Cup fixtures at Premier League grounds will have Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology.
