No, 7 teams max in Europe. Only 2 in EL. 

wow

that sucks

I am reading that the League cup winner goes to conference league if they are not qualified for anything else

does that (lets say Leeds won league cup) mean that the 7th place EPL team gets nothing now (if the league cup winner goes)?

I think so. Table on Fleshscore says 7 teams to Europe.

They were never dropping points..hopefully proved wrong but can't see it

Thing is..Liverpool and Leicester last game are in front of home fans..so that's a boost

we HAVE to beat Villa, not draw, not lose, no fucking about

Obviously, you can still draw/lose at home with fans, so while it's a boost it's not a guarantee.

Spuds basically need to WIN in order for them to have a EL spot. Another loss for them will see them in the Conference League or dropout of Europe completely.

Nah course but apart from last week this will be the first time since March where Leicester have had anyone in their stadium. So be more vibes

Willock in just 13 games for Newcastle scored more goals than any Chelsea player this season in PL (not counting Jorginho's penalties). 

Same with Lingard in just 14 games. 

They are both midfielders. 

All our offensive players are pathetic.

as it stands

if we lose

and Pool and Leicester both draw

all are on 67 points

Pool will have at least 23 for a GD, so 3rd

We would have +22 at best (a one goal loss)

Leicester would have +20

so we would pip them for 4th

IF we lose by 3 or more, Leicester goes though, as they have more goals scored than us

Yes but so did Spuds and Crystal Palace today and they still lost. More vibes, but it doesn't guarantee anything.

True but they had fans back in December. Not saying it will make a difference but after no one for a year or so.. see what happens. Hopefully go in our favour..Long as we win ours meh to the rest.

Why did we lose to pissing Arsenal.

that fucking Arse 1 nil loss

was the worst result under Tuchel (and so preventable with a proper team picked)

west brom was a fluke and they have shown they can play with anyone if motivated

that nil nil BHA draw was shit too, although 2 more points does not 100% guarantee CL (as Leicester could pound spuds and if we lost by 2,3 goals they might catch us on GD)

so 7th place in the EPL now (unless a non top 7 club wins the league cup) is a big punishment in a way

as you now likely have a lot of shit conference league games in shit far away cities, and only reward if you grind out a win and take the trophy is EL, not CL

and it hurts your EPL campaign
