Just in case we don't get a CL spot, here's how you qualify for the Europa League:
Win the Europa League.
- Finish in 5th or 6th place in the league or 4th and 5th(6th) if an English club wins the CL, but finish outside the top 4.
- Qualify for a fair play spot.
Winner of the FA Cup enter at the group stage.
The 5th placed team will enter at the playoff stage.
The 6th place team will currently enter in the 3rd qualifying round in place of the League Cup winners.
Should Arsenal win the FA Cup AND qualify for the CL, the losing finalist will get the last spot, but enter in the 3rd qualifying round, while the 5th and 6th placed teams now enter directly into the group stage and playoff stage respectively.
Fair Play winners enter in the 1st qualifying round and England may get one of the 3 fair play spots.
