France didn't get an extra place last year when PSG won, so I think Arsenal winning it would be irrelevant.
I think because 5th is an extra co-efficient place awarded then that's why it would knock down to 6th if Villa ended up their and won the EL.

Hard to see Villa dropping to 5th with the teams behind them currently though.

I was sure they changed it (after Villarreal) so that winning the CL didn't grant an extra place.
But, taking it in a tangent: how closely do we need to start paying attention to what Roma do?
Currently sitting in the conference place in Serie A...

Hadn't even thought about the multi-club issue. Apparently, we have a super secret plan...?

It’s what they said on the ramble and I’ve heard it on other podcasts.
Basically, we have five slots, villa and arsenal go in as champions of the European cup and the Europa, so we still have five slots to fill.
Seemingly possible! But specifically needs Liverpool to win the CL and finish 5th and Villa to win the Europa and finish 6th
Arsenal winning the CL won’t give an extra space as they’ll be in top 4 already

Just deal with what we can control and what will be will be.
Two wins in the next two games and we are in the box seat for any eventuality.

All things being equal and we don’t have a magic plan in place, we both get champions league, who steps down?

Wouldn't be surprised if Roma don't get Europe at all the way they're going

Knowing our luck, they don’t qualify, we do, but they take our place anyway. English FA that!

If they finish 4th and we finish 5th, they do.
If we both finish 4th, then we do.

Fair enough if they finish 4th and us 5th, but why us if we both finish 4th?
