Fifth in EPL may play in Champions League if Man City are prohibited


The Premier League could have a surprisingly extraordinary fight for fifth spot next season if Manchester City are prohibited from European football for defying money related reasonable play norms, as per Times


UEFA sources have affirmed that England would hold four Champions League places if City are rejected from the challenge in 2020-21, which was the proposal of the investigatory council of Uefa's club money related control body (CFCB) when the Premier League champions were formally charged a week ago.

Given that Pep Guardiola's side, who fixed a local treble with triumph in the FA Cup last, are practically sure to complete in the main four next season, their Champions League spot would go to the group who are fifth in the Premier League, should they be suspended. The distribution of Champions League spots is in the hands of the FA, yet there is no prospect of a spot being given to the FA or Carabao Cup victors.


Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United have equipped for the Champions League in spite of completing underneath fourth in the Premier League lately because of winning European rivalries, yet no English club has qualified by completing fifth.

The FA Cup victors are hypothetically remunerated with a spot in the Europa League. In any case, after City's determined 6-0 prevail upon Watford at Wembley last Saturday, the additional spot for next season has gone to Wolverhampton Wanderers, who completed seventh in their first season in the Premier League since 2012.
