“Second round: All clubs playing in the Premier League, unless they are competing in the UEFA Champions League or Europa League (or took part in the UEFA Intertoto Cup), as well as any clubs that may have been given a bye to this round, enter at this stage and join the First Round winners, although Manchester City were not exempt in 2008–09, having qualified for the UEFA Cup through the Fair Play league.” Third round: All clubs competing in the UEFA Champions League or Europa League enter at this stage and join the Second Round winners (making for a total of 32 clubs).” To summarise, second round contestants are the teams in the premier league that did not get into the 7 european positions this season. The third round contestants are the teams who DID finish in the top 7 and join the second round winners. Hope this helped.
