So despite last night we are still in pole position for an 8th place finish, which would likely be at least enough for the Conference.
If Chelsea win this year's Conference and finish 6th (or 7th) then would this not free up an additional UEL spot?
From the EPL site:
Any team qualifying for the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League by winning a UEFA club competition (UCC) does not impact the qualification of other teams through their league position or by winning a domestic cup.
