When Uefa devised this system, it believed the idea of 11 teams from one country qualifying for Europe was so far-fetched as to be barely worth mentioning.<\/p>\n
But it is possible.<\/p>\n
For it to happen, English teams need to win all three European competitions and finish outside the qualifying domestic league positions. <\/p>\n
So, right now, that means finishing outside the Premier League’s top six.<\/p>\n
That would become the top seven if, say, Manchester City<\/a> were to win the FA Cup.<\/p>\n In the most likely scenario, Liverpool<\/a>, Forest and Palace would win the three European trophies.<\/p>\n Liverpool<\/a>‘s final position could also impact other clubs in the table – in terms of which league positions will qualify for which competition.<\/p>\n Say, for instance, Liverpool<\/a> finish seventh and win the Champions League – meaning they qualify for next season’s competition as holders.<\/p>\n In this example, sixth is the Conference League place before the EPS is applied. <\/p>\n Then the EPS is added, meaning fifth place qualifies for the Champions League, and everything else drops down one.<\/p>\n Liverpool<\/a> do not need the place in the Conference League, so this jumps over them and is given to eighth.<\/p>\n Similar logic applies if Liverpool<\/a> finish in sixth and win the Champions League. <\/p>\n
