The EFL Cup will pay tribute to the victims of the Chapecoense plane crash on Tuesday evening.
  Virtually all of the playing squad and coaching staff died in the incident, which also took the life of air crew and club directors.
76 passengers are confirmed to have died so far. With the world of football in mourning and paying their respects, the EFL will also honour the victims.
