What Man City’s FA Cup win means for Premier League places in Europe

First, remember that the Europa League winners qualify for the Champions League.

If Villa can win the Europa League and finish in the top four, nothing will change in terms of England’s European place. There will still be five teams in the Champions League and eight teams in Europe.

A Champions League spot will pass the qualifying team with the best Uefa coefficient reserved for the Europa League title holders.

As it stands, it could be Sporting Lisbon in Portugal.

If Villa finish outside the top four, the Premier League will have six teams in the Champions League:

Villa’s exact final position will determine the Premier League’s total European allocation.

If they finish fifth, EPS will go to the Premier League’s sixth-placed team.

And we’ll know if Villa win the Europa League before the final, it could present A titanic battle to end the sixth.

Even if Villa are fourth, if they lose on the last day Manchester CityAnd Liverpool win at home BrentfordThen the Villans would be fifth.

And it is likely to finish sixth in the Champions League.

The Premier League will surrender a place in the Europa League. Overall, England will still have eight European places.
