Some exciting scenarios suggest that the Premier League may witness a historic precedent with 10 clubs qualifying for European competitions next season, which represents half the number of Premier League teams.

To achieve this scenario, three key conditions must be met:

Crystal Palace must defeat Manchester City in the FA Cup final.

Chelsea must win the UEFA Europa Conference League against Real Betis.

Chelsea must finish seventh in the Premier League standings.

If these conditions are met, the European distribution will be as follows:

UEFA Champions League:

Liverpool – Premier League champions.

Second place in the league.

Third place in the league.

Fourth place in the league.

Fifth place in the league.

The winner of the UEFA Europa League – Manchester United or Tottenham (as the winner of the final automatically qualifies for the Champions League).

UEFA Europa League:

Crystal Palace – as the FA Cup winner (if they win the final against City).

Sixth place in the league.

Chelsea – if they win the UEFA Europa Conference League and finish seventh.

UEFA Conference League:

Eighth place in the league.

If this rare scenario occurs, England will send 6 teams to the Champions League, 3 teams to the Europa League, and 1 team to the Conference League, in an unprecedented achievement that reflects the competitive strength of the Premier League and the diversity of European qualification opportunities.
