11th place team could qualify for Europe this season
The Premier League has outlined a scenario where the 11th place team could qualify for European competition next season. This unusual situation arises from the potential for England to secure an additional Champions League spot through UEFA coefficient rankings. Currently, teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea occupy the top four positions. For the 11th place team to qualify, several conditions must be met, including specific teams winning their respective tournaments and maintaining their league positions. As it stands, Brentford is in 11th place and could benefit from this scenario. If all required events unfold, they could secure a spot in the Conference League, despite typically finishing in the bottom half of the league.
