How Premier League clubs can qualify for Europe this season
The Premier League season is in the final stretch, and the race for a place in Europe is starting to hot up. Here's how qualification works.

This says that if Chelsea were to win the Champions League and Man United were to win the Europa League while both finishing outside the top four, fourth place would still qualify for the Champions League.
Unless I'm being characteristically thick, the best you could say for sections of this article is they're confusingly vague. It doesn't, for example, clarify that Sheffield United could only qualify for Europe if they win the FA Cup.
One above which ever position we finish in ..... because it's fix to ensure we don't get to Europe.

I believe 4th would get Europa League if Chelsea and Man Utd qualify for CL by winning the CL and EL, and are outside of the top 4.

Depends where Chelsea and Man Utd finish in the league, and who wins the FA Cup.

Life is full of If's and Buts, but if we beat Man U in the semi and play City in the Final, we'll automatically qualify for Europe

No we won’t, we’d still have to win the FA Cup, it’s been a good number of years since a place was available for the runners up if the winners had already qualified for Europe.

Man City winning the CL won’t make a difference as they are almost certain to finish top 4.
Man Utd winning the Europa League would only matter if they finish outside the top 4, but English clubs would get a 5th spot in the CL so won’t make much of a difference.
West Ham winning the conference League shouldn’t make much of a difference as the PL would be given an extra place in the Europa League for next season.
Chelsea winning the CL (and not finishing top 6 or 7) Man Utd winning the Europa League (and not finishing top 4) and West Ham winning the conference League could open up a can of worms depending on what is the maximum number of clubs UEFA would allow in European competition from one country.
If anyone is worried about the Chelsea, Man Utd and West Ham scenario it’s a nice 100/1 treble with most bookies (to win the individual competitions not where they might finish in the PL), would more than pay for the beer to numb the pain of us missing out on Europe through some bizarre quota rule.
