And two managers that are desperately in need to win a trophy.Very interesting.
By the way if Arsenal win the Europa how many English teams get in the champions league next year 4,5 or 6 ?

If Chelsea or Arsenal win, it will mean Man United will get champions league next season. So if both english teams win both competitions, we will have 6 teams from the premier league in the champions league next year

Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal & United.

If neither team wins the europa league then you just cut United from that list.

I'm led to believe that if Arsenal win the Europa League then they go in the Champions League instead of the team that finishes 4th.

And then if Man City win the FA Cup the teams in 4th, 6th and 7th go in the Europa League.

Not true.

There will be five English teams in the champions league and two in the europa league if arsenal win the europa league.
If Chelsea win the europa league then there will be four teams in the champions league and three teams in the europa league.

The only way forth place could lose out is if say Liverpool or Spurs hadn’t finished in the top four and then won the champions league they would of got the place into next years tournament instead of forth place.

The rules are there can be a maximum of five clubs from one nation in the champions league and there can only be a maximum of seven clubs from one nation in any uefa competitions during a season.

Champions league: Man City Liverpool Spurs Chelsea

Europa league: Man Utd Wolves

Arsenal win then there in the champions league they lose there in the europa league.

Same happened when Man Utd won the Europa league in Mourinhos first season.

Yeah, looks like you're right. I stand corrected.

Yep its a bit pathetic that you qualify by being a failure a finishing 4th in your league. should just be made up of the champions of each country. Maybe could also add the national cup winner of each country but being rewarded for failure just so UEFA can make more TV money is pathetic.
