Premier League confirm FIVE English clubs could qualify for the Champions League next season
Daily MailHistory could be made during the 2023-24 season as for the first time five Premier League teams could qualify for the Champions League through league position. For this to happen, the English clubs in this year's campaign would have to provide one of the top two performances across the Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League. Should Manchester City repeat their Champions League heroics a fifth Premier League team would qualify through league position On one occasion though five Premier League teams did qualify for Europe's elite competition when Liverpool lifted the trophy during the 2005 season, but finished outside of the top four. The change in rules could in fact see a maximum of seven clubs qualify, although that would require both the Champions League and Europa League winners to be from the Premier League and both teams finish outside the top five.
