Liga MX Clausura Liguilla playoffs preview and schedule

The Liga MX 2017 Clausura playoffs are here, with the eight teams set to kick off play on Wednesday night.

The top eight was set in dramatic fashion after Morelia's wild last-minute victory against Monterrey. Their win meant that the club avoided relegation, but also eliminated traditional giants Club America and Pachuca from the Liguilla playoffs. It's the very first time that Club America has failed to reach the Liguilla in new playoff era.

Here's how the first round of the playoffs will shake out:
