Europe Thread 25/26

The one I’m most bothered by is Sunderland at home as they can sit back and counter. The RS won’t don’t that, neither will city. I think that is the set up we’ve seemed to struggle against the most this season.
Could be a banana skin game that one

Let's hope Sunderland players will be on the beach if we're still in the European picture by then
 
UEFA have confirmed that the team finishing 7th in the Premier League this season could qualify for the 2026–27 Champions League if:

Aston Villa win the Europa League and finish 5th or 6th in the Premier League

Liverpool win the Champions League and finish 5th or 6th in the Premier League.
 
Its worth noting, that whilst its not been made public, yet...


There is nothing to suggest for/not that TFG wont have done this. Europe is worth a lot to them, both globally and financially. I feel they'd be naive to not do this.

Regarding Roma, I think the only way they will not make europe is if Lazio win the Coppa Italia, and Atalanta overtake them. Equally if Lazio win the Coppa, Roma would at present, Qualify for the Conference League.

I would be amazed given the publicised issues Palace had, if TFG haven't already transferred over, they already play a silent role on the surface anyway

So thats a "no" then :(
 
Anyone know what the deal is if Villa finish top 5 and win the Europa? I assume it wouldn’t make any difference and they’d just take one of the five spaces anyway. 6th being Europa, 7th being conference?

I think you are correct. with City winning the League Cup, that Europa Conference League place now goes to the Premier league, so currently top 5 is Champions League, 6th are Europa League and 7th is Europa Conference League

The extra places for winning the champions league or Europa league only go to the winners if the winners have not qualified for the competition already via the league.

I think the lowest European qualification can go to in the league is 8th, that's if a top 7 team wins the FA cup.

There are other teams that can qualify for Europe, Palace, if they win the conference league, or Forest if they win the Europa, but they dont affect us.
 
Going into this season my hope was that we could achieve mid table anonymity, that for me was a step forward given the last couple of years. I am amazed how people can now be disappointed if we don’t get European football next year. While I would like to see Everton challenging for the league title and for trophies I am realistic to know that no longer happens, we need to build over a number of seasons. Build solidity, build resilience build success off firm foundations.
