U18s: United vs Leeds

Like what I see from Thwaites every time he plays
 
Even though it feels like we’re playing with fire, at the same time we’ve defended very well. They’ve not really had any decent chances.
 
Arsenal knocked out, Man City currently 0-3 down against Derby and on their way out as well.
 
Reading or Sunderland in the group C currently going through as the best second placed team.
 
Derby manage to hold on and knock out last year’s finalists.

If I’m not mistaken it’s either Reading, Sunderland, Liverpool or Everton who will grab onto that 8th spot in the quarters. Leeds could do that too theoretically, but can’t see that happening.
 
So who’s wrong, Man City or myself?

According to them they go through as the second placed team in their group.

Haven’t heard of a format change, but does this mean there’s a Round of 16 this year with the top 2 from each group going through as do the two best third placed teams?

According to Aston Villa they "finished second in Group E behind the Cottagers. Their tally of five points did not prove enough to secure their place in the knockout stages as a best-ranked second place team."

Premier League says ”The seven group winners and the best runner-up, decided by total points and then goal difference followed by head-to-head record, will advance to the quarter-finals.”, but the article seems outdated.

I’m confused. :eek:
