Because the Premier League season winds down, there’s not a lot to be determined because the champions are Liverpool and the three relegated groups are the three that have been promoted the earlier season in Ipswich City, Leicester Metropolis and Southampton, however all eyes at the moment are on who qualifies for Europe.
Saturday’s FA Cup remaining, which noticed Crystal Palace upset Manchester Metropolis for the title, adjustments issues relating to who qualifies for the European competitions subsequent season.
So this is what to know as Champions League, Europa League and Europa Convention League play continues to be at stake:

| 14 | Wolves | 36 | 12 | 5 | 19 | 51 | 64 | -13 | 41 |
| 15 | West Ham | 36 | 10 | 10 | 16 | 42 | 59 | -17 | 40 |
| 16 | Manchester United | 36 | 10 | 9 | 17 | 42 | 53 | -11 | 39 |
| 17 | Tottenham Hotspur | 36 | 11 | 5 | 20 | 63 | 59 | +4 | 38 |

Who makes what competitors?
As a result of efficiency of English groups in European competitors boosting their coefficient factors, England gained a further Champions League spot for subsequent season.
This is how issues stand for now:
- First by way of fifth place will qualify for the UEFA Champions League
- The Europa League winners between Manchester United and Tottenham may even qualify for UCL
- Sixth place, for now, goes to Europa League
- Seventh place, for now, goes to the Convention League
What does Crystal Palace’s win imply?
Crystal Palace’s win means they qualify mechanically for the Europa League subsequent season.
What if Chelsea win the Convention League?
That is the place issues get wonky. {Qualifications} may get difficult primarily based on in the event that they win the competitors or not.
If Chelsea win the match and end within the high 5 of the Premier League:
- The highest 5, together with Chelsea, will qualify for the Champions League together with the winner of the Europa League remaining (Tottenham vs. Man United).
- Crystal Palace and the sixth-place group will make Europa League.
- Newcastle, anticipated to make Champions League by way of league place, would make Convention League as Carabao Cup winners if they do not end within the high 5.
If Chelsea win the match and end sixth within the Premier League, they get an additional group in Europa League:
- The highest 5 will qualify for the Champions League together with the winner of the Europa League remaining (Tottenham vs. Man United).
- Crystal Palace, Chelsea (as Convention League winners) and the seventh-place group will make Europa League.
- Newcastle, anticipated to make Champions League by way of league place, would make Convention League as Carabao Cup winners if they do not end within the high 5.
How can the eighth-place group make it?
Now we’re entering into bizarro world eventualities. However there’s a probability the eighth-place group may make it into European competitors:
For that to occur, the next might want to happen (that is all assuming Newcastle end within the high six):
- Chelsea win the Convention League and end exterior of the highest 5.
As a result of that will imply Chelsea get a Europa spot for profitable the Convention League, pushing the Europa spot they might have claimed by way of league place right down to the seventh place, which in flip drops the convention league spot reserved for seventh place to go right down to eighth place, primarily. It is a bit extra technical than that, however do we actually desire a weekend headache. You do? Tremendous.
Earlier than any allocation of spots, it will appear like this, per ESPN.
UCL: 1-4 and the Europa League winners
EL: 5, Crystal Palace
CL: 6
If Chelsea end seventh and win the Convention League remaining:
UCL: 1-4 and the Europa League winners
EL: 5, Crystal Palace, Chelsea as CL winners
CL: 6
As soon as performances are factored in, the CL spot jumps over Chelsea since they might be in Europa as CL winners:
UCL: 1-5 and the Europa League winners
EL: 6, Chelsea as CL winners
CL: 8
