And yet-
He (or rather a researcher) did explain it: only applies if Chelsea win Conference and fall out of top 5. They qualify for Europa and England has 3 teams in Europa and none in Conference.
I've read these and still don't know...
I'm still lost.
Let's presume Chelsea win the Conference and thus qualify for the UEL.
IF they finish top 5 then they are in the UCL, does that leave the rest as before? 6 & 7 UEL and 8 Conference?
IF they finish 6th or 7th then what? 3 teams in the Europa so 6th, 7th & 8th?
So what we want is...
Interesting is the 60 point target. With Forest likely to make 64 today, that puts Villa in 7th on 63 but guaranteeing all top 7 a European slot.
It's just that 8th looking for someone to fill it, unless Palace do the unthinkable.
BUT even Sir Gary on MotD last night couldn't explain the 'what...
Quick 'who will qualify for Europe?' update.
Still on track for 5 UCL places.
6th will be UEL spot and unaffected by any other cup win.
7th and here is the 'maybe' UEL place. This goes to either the FA Cup winners or 7th place if Cup winners are in the top 6. Man City or Forest are the two teams...
Update from the BBC on who qualifies for Europe.
To sum up, the bottom line states
However, England is in an even stronger position this season. It would now take a complete capitulation for the Premier League's fifth-placed team not to qualify for next season's tournament...
Which team will fall apart first. Some huge 6 pointer fixtures coming up, starting with tonight.
We need to secure a slot before the last weekend, although Liverpool & Spurs may well be on holiday by then (Ali Mc with another hangover).

We are top of the coefficient table to get the extra spot in the UCL. That would be 5 plus 1 in the Europa and 1 in the Conference.
But wait, it gets better.
FA Cup...
