Teams in 5th and 6th would have to win the CL and Europa, thus denying them a place. So if Chelsea for example finished 4th and Sp*rs won the CL and Arsenal won the Europa, they'd be out.
They've changed the rules, so it's not possible this season. You can have five teams and 4th would only miss out if the Champions League AND Europa League winners finished outside the top four.
Nobody has been particularly inspired. Deep rooted problems at Chelsea as well. None of the teams outside the top 2 look any good. Sarri will be gone next season I am fairly certain.
Which is quite funny considering he's got an average Chelsea side to finish in Top 4 and possibly win the Europy. Things will certainly get tasty for the next man if the transfer ban is upheld.
I’m rather hoping he gets another year at least. Stability hasn’t been our strong point despite racking up the trophies.
