There is a risk only the top three would qualify for the Champions League – if the two big European club trophies are equally received by English groups gained finish outside the house this season’s leading 4.
Why? Because there can be a optimum of 5 English groups in the Champions League. So if Chelsea win the Champions League and Wolves or Manchester United earn the Europa League – and neither complete in the best 4, then both of those sides would qualify for subsequent season’s Champions League and fourth location in the Leading League would only earn a Europa League spot.
3. Chelsea
Liverpool (a, 22 July), Wolves (h, 26 July)
Chelsea, who are four factors distinct of fifth position, need 4 points from their last two hard online games to be confident of a best-four place.

4. Leicester City
Sheff Utd (h, 16 July), Spurs (a, 19 July), Gentleman Utd (h, 26 July)
Leicester Metropolis are in the fourth Champions League place, but only higher than Manchester United – their closing-day opponents – on goal variation. That match could end up remaining winner-can take-all for the last Champions League location.
They have to have to win their closing a few video games to be certain of ending in the major four. That is easier mentioned than finished as the Foxes have only gained 1 of their six video games since the restart.
Likelihood of prime 4 (from Gracenote): 33%
5. Manchester United

| Leicester are earlier mentioned Manchester United by +3 target change (with four more ambitions scored). If they complete stage on details, goal difference and aims scored, and are fourth and fifth, then it goes down to head-to-head report (factoring in absent targets). United won 1- at household in September. If the Foxes get 1- on the closing day – and they are degree on factors, intention big difference and goals scored, then they would have to have a play-off to choose who finishes fourth. |
6. Wolves
Burnley (a, 15 July), Crystal Palace (h, 20 July), Chelsea (a, 26 July)
Wolves only have slim hopes of the top four now. They sit four details powering Leicester and Manchester United – and have to overtake two teams – so require various effects to go their way.

7. Sheffield United
Leicester (a, 16 July), Everton (h, 20 July), Southampton (a, 26 July)
Sheffield United are five details behind Leicester – their up coming opponents – and Manchester United so would want to get all three online games and hope for the sides higher than them to all drop tons of factors.
Odds of prime four (from Gracenote): less than 1%
8. Tottenham Hotspur
Newcastle (a, 15 July), Leicester (h, 19 July), Crystal Palace (a, 26 July)
Spurs are seven details powering the major 4 so need to have a miracle actually. Failure to acquire all their online games ends their theoretical hopes.
Chances of major four (from Gracenote): significantly less than 1%
Europa League
The groups who complete fifth and sixth will qualify for following season’s Europa League (unless they acquire one particular of up coming month’s European tournaments).
If the FA Cup winners complete in the leading six, then seventh position in the Premier League would qualify for the Europa League. The team who qualify in the least expensive league spot go into the 2nd qualifying spherical.
FA Cup semi-finalists Arsenal are presently ninth in the league.
At minimum 1 of Chelsea, Leicester Metropolis and Manchester United will close up in the Europa League places but we will target our permutations on the teams who will hope to qualify.
6. Wolves
Burnley (a, 15 July), Crystal Palace (h, 20 July), Chelsea (a, 26 July)
Wolves have to have to earn their three remaining game titles to be positive of a Europa League place. If seventh spot will qualify, then they can afford to draw one particular recreation.
7. Sheffield United
Leicester (a, 16 July), Everton (h, 20 July), Southampton (a, 26 July)

Arsenal will be guaranteed a Europa League team location if they gain the FA Cup – they encounter Manchester Town in the semi-finals on 18 July.
They are 5 details beneath Wolves and four off the Blades.
10. Burnley
Wolves (h, 15 July), Norwich (a, 18 July), Brighton (h, 26 July)
Burnley are guiding Arsenal on purpose variance so would want a lot of outcomes to go their way to even have a chance.
What takes place if an English workforce acquire in Europe?
Manchester City, Chelsea, Wolves and Manchester United all enjoy in Europe future thirty day period. If any of them gain their trophy, they will go into future season’s Champions League group stages no make a difference exactly where they complete in the league.
If Manchester Metropolis (who guide Genuine Madrid 2-1 in the past 16) acquire the Champions League, it can make no distinction to the European destinations in the Premier League – England would not get any further destinations.
But if Chelsea (who path Bayern Munich 3-) get the event and complete outside the major 4, then five English teams would go into up coming year’s Champions League with two in the Europa League.
The same is correct for Manchester United (main LASK 5-) and Wolves (1-1 v Olympiakos) in the Europe League very last 16.
If possibly win the match and end in the top rated four, England does not get an excess house. If they earn and finish outside the house the leading 4, then England gets five Champions League places.
If Chelsea win the Champions League AND Manchester United or Wolves earn the Europa League – and neither finish in the leading four – then only the top rated 3 in the Leading League qualify for the Champions League.
Uefa restrictions recommend England could have 8 groups in Europe if that took place and one particular of them did not complete in the top 6/7 – or nine if they both equally fall short to.
