How 11 Premier League teams could qualify for Europe

When Uefa devised this system, it believed the idea of 11 teams from one country qualifying for Europe was so far-fetched as to be barely worth mentioning.

But it is possible.

For it to happen, English teams need to win all three European competitions and finish outside the qualifying domestic league positions.

So, right now, that means finishing outside the Premier League's top six.

That would become the top seven if, say, Manchester City were to win the FA Cup.

In the most likely scenario, Liverpool, Forest and Palace would win the three European trophies.

Liverpool's final position could also impact other clubs in the table - in terms of which league positions will qualify for which competition.

Say, for instance, Liverpool finish seventh and win the Champions League - meaning they qualify for next season's competition as holders.

In this example, sixth is the Conference League place before the EPS is applied.

Then the EPS is added, meaning fifth place qualifies for the Champions League, and everything else drops down one.

Liverpool do not need the place in the Conference League, so this jumps over them and is given to eighth.

Similar logic applies if Liverpool finish in sixth and win the Champions League.

The Conference League place is forfeited - then when the EPS place is applied, the Europa League place jumps over Liverpool and is given to the team in seventh.
