Sure this has been covered, but I'll ask anyway. In terms of 4th place, there's only ever 4 spaces for the CL, if Chelsea win it then the team in 4th place drops out unless Chelsea are in the top four already. Couldn't work out why everyone wanted Leicester to win when surely Chelsea getting top four would be more beneficial? So really we need Chelsea to win their last game and we need to win both of ours. Apologies if this has been asked before, but there's a lot of mixed messages being banded about.

Search for it. It’s been covered a lot recently. There can be 5 teams if chelsea were to win the UCL and finish outside top 4.

What happens if Chelsea win the Champions League, but finish outside top four? Chelsea would still automatically qualify for next season's Champions League as tournament winners, and England would have five teams competing. Whoever finishes fourth in the Premier League would not drop down to the Europa League
This is what happens.

No if chelsea finish outside of top and win CL then 5 teams will go to the champions league.

There's 5 spaces available for the UCL in the Prem. If Chelsea win the CL and fail to get a top 4 spot it makes absolutely no difference to the rest of the teams who finish top 4 (they will all still qualify) . The best result for Liverpool yesterday, imo, was a Leicester win followed by a draw. The actual outcome was the worst possible!

no if chelsea win they get the 5th spot, it was only if another team e. g. arsenal won the europa league where it would mean 4th place would no longer get a spot.

If Chelsea finish 5th (or below) in the PL and win the CL then they will get a CL spot as there is an extra place available for these circumstances. This was partly driven (I think) from when Liverpool won in 2005 but didn't automatically qualify for the next season.

Winning the CL has no bearing on how many league CL places there are.

It only matters if the team winning it are outside the top 4, in which case they get a place.

If Chelsea win it and are in the top 4, it means nothing for the team in 5th.

There is now only 4 Champions League spots but the only way a 5th team would've got a slot would've been if Arsenal had won the Europa League and Chelsea won the Champions league but finished outside of the top 4. Then the top 3 would've been in the champions league due to their finishing position in the league along with Arsenal and Chelsea who would get a place in the Champions League via winning the Champions League and Europa League. The team that finished in 4th if that situation occured would then drop into the Europa League. The eds and other posters have already covered all of this!

Acrock, that isn't correct. The only way 4th would not secure champions league football is if both the winners of the CL and Europa finished outside of the top 4. This can no longer happen this season after Arsenal went out in the last round of Europa. Therefore 4th will secure Champions league qualification regardless of the Champions league result and Chelsea's league position. Hope that helps.

Ah. How much times this needs to be accessed? There can be 5 teams in the CL. Currently depending on Chelsea. If Chelsea finishes 5th and wins the CL there will be 5 teams. 4th place won't drop from the tournament. If Chelsea finishes 3rd or 4th and wins the CL, same for City as they finished 1st, that won't open the 5th spot.

If a team outside the Top 4 wins the CL mate then there'll be 5 teams in it.

You can have 5 teams but never any more. If Chelsea win the champions League and finish 5th England can have 5 teams I believe.

If Chelsea win CL and finish 5th there'll be 5 English teams. Every other scenario this year would mean 4 English teams in champions league.

Basically, you can't qualify for the CL if you finish outside the top four and don't win CL or European Cup.

Only scenario where fourth would drop out is where 2 English clubs win European Cup and CL and both of those clubs finish outside the top four.

That’s incorrect Acrock, if Chelsea finished in 5th and Won the champions league, then 5 English teams would qualify for next seasons tournament, the only way it could possibly effect Liverpool is if for example United and Chelsea won both European competitions this season and they both finished outside the top four, or if Arsenal or Spurs had won the Europa league this season, then the team that finished fourth would loose their place, so basically if Chelsea finish fourth or Fifth it would have no bearing on Liverpool.

This has been done to death. Anyone can search the info on the forum. If we finish in the top 4, whatever Chelsea do will not matter.
