How did they get this far?
Despite three losses, City still stand a chance of progress following victories over Colchester and Derby County and an away draw at Hull City.
There is still one match to play in Group C; between Colchester and Hull. City require a Hull victory if they are to go through and any other result would see Simon Davies’ side out.
What will happen if they go through?
City will be in the final 16 of the competition and will be drawn into single knockout ties that must be decided on the day they are played.
That will then be the same format in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final.
Who could they face?
Clubs already in the next round include Reading, Liverpool, Fulham, Brighton, West Ham United, Norwich City, Hull City and Portsmouth.
