As the draws for the quarter-finals and semi-finals were held together before the quarter-finals were played, the identity of the quarter-final winners was not known at the time of the semi-final draw. A draw was also held to determine which semi-final winner was designated as the “home” team for the final (for administrative purposes as it was played at a neutral venue).
In the knockout phase, teams from the like or nearby cities ( for example, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur ) were not scheduled to play at home on the lapp sidereal day, due to logistics and crowd control.

For the round of 32, since both teams were drawn to play at home for the second leg, the home plate match of the team which were not domestic cup champions in the modification season, or the team with the lower domestic ranking ( if neither team were the domestic cup champions, e.g. Tottenham Hotspur for this season ), was moved from Thursday to Wednesday. [ 4 ] For the cycle of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals, if the two teams were drawn to play at home for the like branch, the order of leg of the tie involving the team which were not domestic cup champions in the qualify season, or the team with the lower domestic rank, was reversed from the original draw.
