On May 14, Beijing time, the 37th round of the Premier League ended, in addition to the fierce competition between Arsenal and Manchester City, there is also a big suspense in the Premier League, that is, European qualification, we might as well analyze it.

European quota allocation

According to the rules, the top four in the Premier League qualify for next season's Champions League, the fifth and FA Cup winners play the Europa League, and the League Cup winners play the Europa League. However, with League Cup winners Liverpool already qualified for the Champions League, the spot will continue to move back in the Premier League table.

In addition, Manchester United have reached the FA Cup final and if they fail to beat Manchester City to win the title, they will play sixth in the Europa League and seventh in the Europa League. If they win, Manchester United will play in the UEFA Europa Conference League in seventh place if they finish sixth in the Premier League, and sixth in the Premier League if they do not finish in the top six.

Situation analysis

Champions League: Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool have already secured a top-three finish and qualified for next season's Champions League, so only one of the last spots remains.

Aston Villado is fourth with 68 points from one game, five points ahead of fifth-placed Tottenham. Tottenham must win the last two rounds and count on Villa to be overcome. In other words, Tottenham must win against Manchester City in the next round of play-offs, otherwise they will miss out on the Champions League.

Europa League and UEFA Europa League: Newcastle and Chelsea are both sixth and seventh on 57 points, six points behind fifth-place Tottenham, and unless Tottenham lose their final two rounds, it will be difficult to catch up. However, if United miss out on the FA Cup, then sixth in the Premier League can also play in the Europa League, and seventh in the Europa League.

Manchester United is eighth with 54 points, three points behind Newcastle and Chelsea, and will face Newcastle directly in the next round of supplementary matches, and if they lose again, they will completely miss the top six! If you lose the FA Cup final, you will be completely out of the European competition next season.
