It's that time of year again when someone has to stick their head above the parapet, so it may as well be me...
We all know about a fifth CL spot being awarded to the nation with the best best performance in Europe this season, so let's assume it's England...
The current top five seems the most likely final top five, three of which have a good chance of winning their European trophies this season, which is completely irrelevant anyway unless any slip out of the top five...
EL places would then be awarded to 6th and FA Cup winners (or 7th if the Cup winners were in the top six.
Should Liverpool win the Carabao Cup, would 8th be awarded the Conference League spot? or 7th at the the expense of a EL place?
I ask because we actually find ourselves in with a chance of European football but it's easier to finish 8th than 7th obviously.
