    Manchester United still remain in the hunt for European football next season

    A memorable Barclays Premier League season has been prolonged with a group of teams still chasing a place in European football next campaign.

    Here is a breakdown of who has qualified, or which teams are still in contention, to represent the Premier League in Europe next season.

    (N.B. All UEFA places are subject to confirmation by an updated UEFA access list.)

    Man City are on the brink of UEFA Champions League qualification after a draw at Swansea

    UEFA Champions League
    Leicester City, the BPL champions, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur take automatic places in the group stages.

    After their 1-1 draw at Swansea City, Manchester City will contest a play-off, barring aManchester United victory by at least 18 goalsover AFC Bournemouth on Tuesday.

    A fifth BPL side can feature in the UCL next season, if Liverpool earn a place in the group stages through winning the Europa League final against Sevilla in Basel on 18 May.

    West Ham's push for a European place next season relies upon Manchester United

    UEFA Europa League
    Manchester United are guaranteed at least sixth place in the BPL, which alone would earn them a place in the UEL qualifying round. Avoiding defeat against AFC Bournemouth would earn United fifth and a guaranteed place in the UEFA Europa League group stages.

    If United lost to AFC Bournemouth they would still be able to qualify for the UEL group stages through winning the FA Cup.

    Southampton's 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace confirmed a place in the UEL, by moving up to fifth. They will remain there and earn a place in the UEL group stage if Man Utd lose to AFC Bournemouth on Tuesday.

    If Man Utd earn at least a point against AFC Bournemouth, sixth will earn Southampton a third qualifying round place in the UEL. If United win the FA Cup it would guarantee the Saints a place in the group stages.

    West Ham United,in seventh, need Man Utd to win the FA Cup on 21 May to earn a UEL place, in the third qualifying round.

    Crystal Palace can spoil the Hammers’ hopes if they win the FA Cup on Saturday. That would earn them a place in the UEFA Europa League group stages for 2016/17.
