Unprecedented! Next season, there will be six Premier League teams participating in the Champions League, and the relegation teams will also be included

Manchester United and Tottenham both defeated their opponents in the UEFA Cup semi-finals and advanced to the UEFA Cup finals. This also means that next season, the UEFA Champions League will have an unprecedented 6 Premier League teams, and the number of Premier League teams will account for one-sixth of the participating teams in the UEFA Champions League! Among them, Liverpool, which won the Premier League championship ahead of schedule, is the only team that has been confirmed to participate; the six teams, Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle, Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, will compete for 4 Champions League places through the Premier League rankings; the two Premier League relegation teams currently ranked 15th in the Premier League and Tottenham Hotspur, will meet in the UEFA Cup final, and the winner will also qualify for the Champions League next season!

According to the UEFA Champions League quota allocation plan, the Premier League will receive 4 UEFA Champions League quotas, which is also the fundamental reason for the four major battles in the Premier League. Premier League teams performed well in the European Cup this season. Although Arsenal lost to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur met in the UEFA Cup final, and Chelsea also entered the UEFA Cup final. So far, the Premier League's European Cup points this season are 28.533 points, far exceeding the 23.678 points in the second place La Liga and 22 points in the third place Serie A. Therefore, they have also won a rewarded UEFA Champions League place. The four Premier League battles have become five battles.

After 35 rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool led second place Arsenal by 15 points, winning the championship ahead of schedule, and ensuring a UEFA Champions League place next season. Starting from second place Arsenal and to seventh place Aston Villa, a total of 6 teams have hope of entering the top five in the Premier League and may also fall out of the top five in the Premier League to compete for the other 4 Champions League places. Arsenal has the best situation, ranking second in the Premier League with 67 points, leading No. 6, Nottingham Forest 6 points. As long as you win another game in the last three rounds, you can ensure that you qualify for the Champions League next season. Their opponents in the last three rounds are Liverpool, Newcastle and Southampton. However, Arsenal has been in poor form recently, and has suffered three consecutive losses in the Champions League and the league. The winner is still unknown when meeting Liverpool, who has won the championship in the next round.

Manchester City, which has been in great shape recently, has already caught up with points and rankings after winning four consecutive Premier League wins. It is currently ranked third with 64 points, only 3 points away from Arsenal. Considering that Manchester City's opponents in the last three rounds are Southampton, Bournemouth and Fulham, the difficulty is much lower than that of Arsenal, Manchester City is likely to overtake Arsenal and win the runner-up of the Premier League this season, thereby advancing to the Champions League next season.

The competition for the other two Champions League places is a bit fierce. Newcastle and Chelsea have 63 points, ranking 4th and 5th respectively, Nottingham Forest ranked 6th with 61 points, and Aston Villa ranked 7th with 60 points. In the 36th round of the Premier League, Newcastle VS Chelsea, Liverpool VS Arsenal, in the 37th round of Arsenal, and in the 38th round of Nottingham Forest VS Chelsea, these four strong dialogues will have a huge impact on the Premier League ranking this season. Among them, Arsenal, Newcastle and Chelsea have two opponents in the top 7 of the Premier League in the last three rounds, and the situation is not optimistic. Nottingham Forest only achieved 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses in the fifth round of the Premier League, and it is very likely that they will fall behind in the final sprint stage. As for Bournemouth, currently ranked 8th, it is already 10 points behind No. 5 Chelsea and misses the Champions League next season three rounds ahead of schedule.

In addition to the top five teams in the Premier League who can qualify for the Champions League next season, Manchester United, currently ranked 15th in the Premier League and Tottenham, also have the opportunity to participate in the Champions League next season, and one of these two teams will definitely be able to participate. After 35 rounds of the Premier League, Manchester United ranked 15th in the Premier League with 39 points, and Tottenham ranked 16th in the Premier League with 38 points. Whether in terms of scores or rankings, this is a perfect level of Premier League relegation. It is impossible for these two BIG6 members to qualify for the European Cup next season through the league rankings. But there is no way out. Although Manchester United and Tottenham have poor record in the league, they have outstanding records in the UEFA Cup!

Manchester United ranked third with a record of 5 wins and 3 draws in the Europa League, and defeated Real Sociedad, Lyon and Athletic Bilbao in the knockout round, advancing to the final with an unbeaten record. In the 2016-2017 season, Manchester United won the UEFA Cup championship under Mourinho, which was also Manchester United's last European Championship. Mourinho led a group of players with crutches to the podium and it is also a classic scene in the history of the UEFA Cup. Now under the leadership of Amorin, we will launch a final impact on the championship. If Manchester United can win the UEFA Cup, it will be the only highlight of this bad season.

Tottenham ranked fourth in the Europa League stage with 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and then eliminated Alkmaar, Frankfurt and Beat Shining, meeting with Manchester United in the final. Tottenham once won the UEFA Champions League in 1983-1984, which is also the last time Tottenham won the European Championship. Whether Postkoglu can continue to serve next season depends on whether he can win the championship.

Whether Manchester United stands on the UEFA Cup championship podium again after 7 years, or Tottenham relives the old dream of 41 years of championship, the final winner will become the sixth team in the Premier League to participate in the UEFA Champions League next season, and as the UEFA Champions League champion, it will surpass the other four Premier League teams and become the first team in the Champions League next season like Liverpool. By the way, Tottenham has played against Manchester United in the last 6 times, with a record of 4 wins and 2 draws and remains unbeaten.

Finally, I boldly predict that the six Premier League teams participating in the Champions League next season will be Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle and Tottenham.
