Great thinking.

Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere for months and I don't think this situation has happened since last May. Can anyone confirm?

If the scum win it, then the PL will have 5 teams in the CL. The top 4 + EL winners.

The only way we could be screwed now is if Arsenal win EL Liverpool win CL and Liverpool come 5th and Chelsea 3rd. So basically it’s not going to happen.

Which teams would have to play in the CL qualifying round if Gooners win Europa League?

I said that when Chelsea won the CL beating Barcelona along the way,
Messi missing a penalty an all.
.Lightening never strikes twice, though actually it does
because vulnerable spots are often hit frequently.
Sounds like Spurs to me.

I don't want either of those teams to win those trophies, but if they did it would be truly hilarious if Chelsea finished above Liverpool in fourth and missed out on the CL. Gotta love that karma.

No but we will be made to play in the Skegness Charity Cod & Haddock Cup (but not until round of 36). We will have a bye until then for finishing fourth (4th) in the Premier League. (EPL).

Better question...
How qualifies for the Europa league next season?

5th, 6th and 7th or Southampton if they win the FA cup?

Would be great if both arse and chel have the distraction of that competition.

Is the right answer.

The chances of Chelsea and Arsenal not having EL next season are minimal.

5 teams is the maximum allowed from each country under the latest rules ... I believe ... so in this scenario we are still OK. What would have been a problem is if say Chelsea had still been in the CL and gone on to win it then I don't know how out of six teams they allocate five places but suspect that the 4th place team would lose out
