Premier League suffer yet ANOTHER critical blow in UEFA coefficient rankings after West Ham and Liverpool Europa League defeats... with hopes of earning an extra Champions League spot all but over

Daily Mail  

The Premier League is now almost certain to miss out on extra European spot The Premier League's hopes of securing a fifth Champions League spot are virtually over after Liverpool and West Ham exited Europe on Thursday. The Premier League's hopes of having five Champions League spots are all but over Liverpool and West Ham's exits from the Europa League mean England have a slim chance of catching Germany Your browser does not support iframes. Bayer Leverkusen's progression over West Ham and Bayern Munich beating Arsenal have severely hampered the Premier League's chances Aston Villa need to win all of their remaining Europa Conference League games to give the Premier League a chance Aston Villa are England's only hope of securing some more points in the coefficient table but their chances of gaining enough - and Germany gaining few enough - are vanishingly slim. However, earning a fifth Champions League spot would depend on a horrific set of results for Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayer Leverkusen in their respective semi-finals in the Champions League and Europa League. Germany and Italy could yet have six teams in the Champions League if one of their teams wins a European competition and finishes outside the top four That would see sixth and seventh qualify for the Europa League - assuming a Champions League side win the FA Cup - would earn a Conference League spot.
