This means that Arsenal and Aston Villa could guarantee their participation, regardless of their final position, winning the Champions League, as either Manchester United could or Tottenham – and both of whom are very unlikely to qualify for the EUROPA league.
Overall, then, England is likely to have between five and seven teams in the next season’s Champions League: the top five, as well as Arsenal or the villa, if they end out of the top five and become European champions and United or Tottenham if they win the Europa League.
FA CUPPEAN ADACIFICATION: Europa League
The winners of the FA Cup meet the conditions for the Europa League championship phase, as well as the fifth team. However, at the possible event of the fifth team that gets the extra point in the Champions League, the Sixth side will enter the Europa League.
The winners of the conference championship also take part in the Europa League next season. Before the quarter -finals, Chelsea is warm to win the conference championship and hopes to reach the Champions League through the championship position.

EFL CUP European Qualifications: Conference League
Newcastle is guaranteed a place to win the EFL Cup, but will hope to reach the Europa League or the Champions League through the championship position.
If this happens, their conference would fall to the next highest Premier League team that has not been hired for Europe.
Can the team in the 11th place in the Premier League qualify for Europe?
There is an unlikely scenario in which all the top 10 teams could qualify for the Champions League or the Europa League and Newcastle’s position on the conference’s play-offs would go to the team at 11.
Follows an example of how the Premier League suggests that the result could happen:
- Liverpool, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and the City all qualify for the Champions League as the top four
- Newcastle arrives in the Champions League in the fifth as a result of England earning an extra point
- Brighton & Hove Albion meets the conditions for the Europa League in Sixth
- Bournemouth comes seventh and meets the conditions for the Europa League by winning the FA Cup
- Chelsea finishes eighth and win a Europa League position by winning the conference championship
- Villa is ninth and go to Champions League as holders
- United or Spurs finish 10th but are in the Champions League as winners of the Europa League
