Brief introduction of British cup system;
The competition is divided into seven rounds, except for the rematch, and the winner is decided by the single elimination system. Teams will draw lots to decide their opponents and home and away games. If the game is tied within 90 minutes, it will be decided directly by penalty kick.
There are two rounds of host and guest in the semi-final, and each team plays at their own home. The team that scored more points in the two games advanced. There is no advantage in scoring away from home in this cup. If the total number of goals in the two games is the same, the winner will be decided in overtime. If the number of goals scored in overtime is the same, the visiting team will advance by virtue of the advantage of away goals.
If you still can't tell the winner, take penalty shoot-out. In the first round, the participating teams included all champion teams, team A and team B.. In the Premier League, except for the team that participated in the European Tournament, it was the third round, and all other Premier League teams started to join in the second round. The League Cup final is usually held at Wembley Stadium in London at the end of February every year. The champion can get a seat in the UEFA European Association League play-off.
