Which teams play europa league

Not simple but there is a higher possibility of at least a 7th English team in Europe. But honestly, only the top 6 are capable of having a long run in Europe and EPL. A possible 7th place Watford, Wolves, Everton, Leicester may qualify but would they be able to keep up at both fronts? Or will they end up like Burnley? Nevertheless English national and club teams are on the up in Europe :. Comment posted by Highwayman, at 9 Apr Highwayman.

Finish in top Go into Champions League. Go into Europa League. Oh silly me I forgot, it's not about the best teams.. UEFA cram in as many teams that didn't win or qualify for anything as they can, as its quantity not quality. Comment posted by Jerry, at 9 Apr Jerry. Run that by me again.

Posted by U on 37 minutes ago How many other countries would expect a team to play on a Monday night before playing a European quarter final on a Thursday night?

Clever idea that! Comment posted by rtz62, at 9 Apr rtz Dot com. I'm sorry Dave Not a pointless article at all. If you are a supporter of any of the clubs 'in the mix', and I'm not - Lincoln City , this is good stuff. Comment posted by U, at 9 Apr U Comment posted by ruaridh, at 9 Apr ruaridh. Its laughable countries like England get four automatic places in the champions league but teams who have won their domestic league still have to play 4qualifiers to even make it to the group stage.

Unlike the Champions League, the UEFA Cup group stage was played in a single round-robin format, with each team playing two home and two away games rather than home and away double-headers. The top three teams in each of the eight groups qualified for the main knockout round along with the eight third-placed teams in the UEFA Champions League group stage.

From then on, a series of two-legged knockout ties were played before a one-off final, traditionally held on a Wednesday in May a week before the Champions League final. For the —10 season, the competition was rebranded as the UEFA Europa League in an attempt to increase its profile. An extra eight teams entered at the group stage to make 48 teams in total , which meant 12 groups of four playing in a double round-robin format, with the group winners and runners-up advancing to the round of 32 along with the eight third-place teams from the UEFA Champions League group stage.

Qualifiers would then continue the usual knockout stage process through the round of 32, round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals and final. How Are The Teams Selected? Qualification has changed significantly since All participants of the Europa League qualify either through their respective final standing in the domestic leagues or their performance in domestic cup competitions.

Generally, the higher an association is ranked in the UEFA coefficients , the later its teams start in the qualification process there are four qualifying rounds in total. Apart from the teams that qualify directly for the Europa League, each side eliminated from Champions League qualifying is given a second chance of European competition by being added to Europa League qualification.

The six losing teams in the Champions League play-off round are automatically transferred to the Europa League group stage. The qualifying teams are split into four different 'pots', with each pot being ranked from No. The highest-rated club coefficients go into Pot 1, the next highest rated in Pot 2 and so on.

Teams are then drawn from each pot until there are 12 groups of four. T eams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other. The other British sides Leicester, Celtic and Rangers can all still join them but have work to do to join the Hammers in the next round of the tournament.

Instead of a round of 32, the eight second-placed teams will meet one of the eight sides finishing third in their respective Champions League groups in a two-legged play-off round in February. The teams who finish third in their Europa League groups will also see their European seasons extended for the first time, with those eight sides facing one of the eight sides who finished second in the Europa Conference League group stage for a place in the last 16 of that competition.

The eight sides finishing second in their Europa League group will be seeded and drawn against the eight sides who finished third in their Champions League groups. The sides who finished second in their Europa League groups will play the first leg of their last tie away from home.
