Youth Cup Update Ahead of Matchday 10

Groups:

Group Tables Prior to Matchday 10



Mini Round Up:

Group A: Chelsea have as good as won the group with Anderletcht and Villarreal joining them in the knock outs - but one of them will have to settle for an away tie in round 2 so all to play for on matchday 10.

Group B: A.Madrid have won the group and will be at home in Round 3. Sassuolo and Liverpool will join them with the Italians overwhelming favourites with the bookies as they dont play A.Madrid in the final group game.

Group C: Group won outright by Valencia and Napoli will finish second - both sides though have interesting final day showdowns with Genoa and Arsenal with Genoa currently two points ahead of Arsenal but Genoa without doubt have the more difficult final day fixture.

Group D: This group has changed massively due to managers forgetting to change their teams and forfeting points meaning that Barcelona have won the group outright, but 2nd and 3rd spot are between Sporting, Athletic Club and Celta Vigo with the final game day seeing Celta travel to Athletic Club and Sporting facing already eliminated Club Brugge.

Group E: AC Milan now find themselves in 3rd after dropping points in narrow defeats. Hamburg lead the way, with Flamengo 2nd. For Milan to get any sort of home advantage in the knock outs they need one of the others to drop points which could happen if Inter do them a favour tomorrow night.

Group F: Dortmund are finally clear and have won the group. Levante and Wolfsburg will join them but who will finish 2nd will be decided tomorrow night with both sides having tough matches.

Group H: Real Madrid have won the group, West Ham are currently 2nd and will progress but face Real Madrid in their next match. PSV should be the other side to go through but Roma and Malaga still have outside chance if PSV lose.

Group G: Juventus have turned it around massively to lead the group ahead of defending champions Bayer Leverkusen with Feyenoord going to finish third.

IF I dont get chance to do a "live draw" ON SUNDAY which technologically and timewise is proving difficult in my household/life at the moment the draw will be as follows.
