You mean for the sake of your domestic bliss

How are we Andy!?

Surely villa,if they win league gets another spot maybe?

Supposedly…

• If Villa win: They are already in the top 5. Depending on the final math, their "winner" spot might just merge with their "league" spot, which doesn't necessarily add a new team to the European roster—it just settles which "bucket" they fall into.
  
  
• If Forest win: Because they are 16th, they are a "pure addition." They occupy a space that wouldn't otherwise exist for an English club.

Summary: A Forest win is the "chaos" scenario that maximizes English representation. It effectively rewards their cup run without punishing the teams that performed better over the 38-game season.

I wish Villa had applied themselves like this against Spurs

I can imagine west ham forums are not very complimentary about villa right now. Just a guess like lol

Simple ranking of scenarios for Everton

From best → worst for Everton’s European chances:

Best

• Forest win Europa League
• Palace do NOT win Conference League

Most league-based European spots remain open

Middle

• Forest win Europa League
• Palace win Conference League

One Europa League spot is removed from league flow

Worst (of your scenarios)

• Villa win Europa League
• Palace win Conference League

Slightly tighter mid-table European race due to stronger league-side competition

Final takeaway

If Palace don’t win:
Everton’s path to Europe is noticeably easier, especially for Europa League qualification


But the biggest factor still remains:


Everton’s finishing position (5th–7th range) matters far more than any single cup outcome.

Why give the ref/var a call to make there, it’s a soft one but it’s a pen.
