The top-flight clubs, including Arsenal, Manchester City, and Manchester United, entered this stage of the knockout competition. All teams were involved in the draw, with the matches set to take place in two weeks, beginning September 7 and September 14. The draw was unique this year, as it was not divided into northern and southern sections, allowing teams to face any of the other participants. The pre-draw was also completed to avoid scheduling conflicts and European commitments.",
