See what happened in the group stage and get ready for the knockout stages of the FIFA 22 tournament

Liverpool look the team to beat in the ePremier League Grand Finals after the 2018/19 champion Tekkz led them to a perfect record in the group stage.

The Reds won all four of their matches, the only team to do so, with Tekkz and Diogo finishing a flawless day with a 7-0 aggregate win over defending ePL champions Manchester City, who crashed out as the only side without a single point.

The pair’s reward for their success in Group B is a quarter-final tie against Group C runners-up Crystal Palace.

Sunday’s quarter-finals

Brentford v Aston Villa
Liverpool v Crystal Palace
Leeds v Everton
Norwich v Chelsea

Last season’s ePL runner-up Ollelito did the lion’s share of the work to send Leeds United into the knockout stages as Group C winners.

He beat Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Joey 4-0 on Xbox, taking the pressure off his team-mate MHaywxrd, who won 2-0 in the second leg on Playstation 5 in Saturday’s final round of group-stage matches.

That took Leeds above Crystal Palace on goal difference, with nine points each, while Southampton finished just short with seven points after drawing 4-4 with Manchester United in their final match.

Everton secured the runner-up spot in Group B as their pursuers Burnley lost their match in hand, suffering a 4-1 defeat against Leicester City, with Painter winning the first leg 3-1 for the Foxes.

Bees are buzzing

In Group A, ePL new boys Brentford won their top-of-the-table duel with London rivals Chelsea to secure top spot.

SamBrwster won the first leg 3-0 for the Bees and, although Chelsea’s Stingrayjnr battled back and took the second leg 3-1, czohino’s solitary strike in that match secured a 4-3 aggregate victory.

Brighton & Hove Albion finished an unbeaten campaign with a win, beating Arsenal 5-3 after three straight draws, but they were already out of contention.

Group D winners Norwich City finished on a high with a resounding 11-4 victory over Watford as damie triumphed 6-2 and GoalPoacher_ nearly matched that result with a 5-2 win.

Newcastle United  and Tottenham Hotspur, both already eliminated, finished up with an entertaining 4-4 draw.
