There is a slim chance of Chelsea making it into next season Europa League if they should 8th place on the English Premier league standings
But this would happen through some crazy combination of events.
ANALYSIS
Three basic events have to happen to get the ball rolling. Man City mustn’t win the Champions League, Liverpool must win the Europa League, and Man United need to claim the FA Cup.
Should that materialise, the Premier League will have five teams in next season’s Champions League: the top four, plus Liverpool as a reward for their EL success.
England will also have three places in the Europa League up for grabs, which break down as follows.
If Man United win the FA Cup, the losers of the final, either Crystal Palace or Watford, will earn a place in the EL, while two places are reserved for EPL positions.
Assuming Man United finish fifth, and Liverpool finishing in either sixth or seventh, eighth place in the EPL will earn a place in the Europa League.
If Chelsea should win all four games left, and Southampton to only beat Palace, the sides will be level on points, and the Blues will likely have the superior goal difference.
Southampton are currently eighth, seven points ahead of Chelsea, but the Saints have three tricky matches left against Man City, Spurs and Palace.
