This is good, in one sense, in that it will guarantee Europe for Liverpool (and CL, to boot, which they will take more seriously) and spread them thin. On the other hand, it looks like Klopp is working his magic and they could be a very dangerous team next year. Looks like City, the Scum, Pool, Chelsea, and we will be fighting it out for top-4.
Also helps with the coefficient. We'll lose the 3.897 pt difference we had with Italy from the 2011/12 season, but we gained 2.750 on them this season. So we're starting next season ahead by 4.698 pts (assuming Pool lose in the final), which is a significant gap to cover in one year. Of course, we do have Leicester as one of the PL representatives, so I'm a bit worried, but hopefully the EL participants will take it a bit more seriously this time and not get knocked out in the qualifying rounds.
