In terms of European qualification, the Premier League could see the top five teams qualify for the UEFA Champions League if England finishes as one of the top two performing nations in European club cup competitions. The FA Cup winner or Carabao Cup winner, if they finish in the top four, will secure a European cup berth. If this happens, the next team in the Premier League standings not already qualified for Europe will take the remaining spot.
