Football - Premier League - Manchester United v Newcastle United - Old Trafford, Manchester, Britain - December 26, 2019. Manchester City’s successful appeal against their European ban means the top four in the Premier League will (probably) qualify for next season’s Champions League, with the next two (or possibly three) going into the Europa League. So if Chelsea win the Champions League and Wolves win the Europa League - and neither finish in the top four (Chelsea and Manchester United cannot both finish outside the top four) - then both sides would qualify for next season’s Champions League and fourth place in the Premier League would only earn a Europa League spot. If the FA Cup winners finish in the top six, then seventh place in the Premier League would qualify for the Europa League. If Chelsea win the Champions League AND Wolves win the Europa League - and neither finish in the top four - then only the top three in the Premier League qualify for the Champions League.
