Format

The 18 teams were divided into two groups of nine. In the style of a round-robin tournament, each team played six other teams in their group both home and away. The other two teams were faced just once. The top four teams from each group qualified for the knockout stage: a three-round single-elimination tournament. The winner of each group had a home match in the quarter-finals against the fourth team from the other group. The runners-up from each group played at home against the third placed team from the other group. The semi-finals were a free draw from all the qualified teams.[2] Finals Day will be again be held at Edgbaston.[3]
