Currently only Man City or Liverpool can now win the Premier League and also the top six cannot be overtaken so are guaranteed European qualification.
The winners of the Champions and Europa League tournaments will qualify for direct entry to the group stages of next season's Champions League but only a maximum of 5 clubs can be entered from one country.
There is a possibility that Spurs could win the Champions League but fail to finish in a top four position whilst Chelsea or Arsenal could win the Europa League and also finish outside of the top four. In this scenario the fourth paced side would drop into the group stages of the Europa League and both winners qualify for the group stage of the Champions League. Only two teams would then qualify for the Europa League and The last place would go to Watford only if they win the FA Cup, as the runners-up no longer qualify if the winners are already qualified, but they would be guaranteed entry at the group level of the Europa League. If the EFL Cup had also been won by a side outside of the top six there could have been a scenario where the fourth placed side would not even qualify for Europe a maximum of seven teams are allowed in European competitions for one country.
The Champions League final will be played in Athletico Madrid's new stadium, Estadio Metropolitano, on June 1st which means that the new interpretation on handball leading directly to a goal will be in force so that LLorente's accidental handball goal would then be disallowed.
The Europa League will be played at The Olympic Stadium in Baku, Azerbaijan on Wednesday May 29th with kick off at 23:00 local time.(20:00 BST) The Heydar Aliyev International Airport is the only major airport in Baku although charter flights might also use the smaller Zabrat Airport. It would be interesting to see how they cope if both Arsenal and Chelsea qualify.
