In the eventuality of Liverpool and Manchester City both securing the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Champions League titles respectively, a fourth place finish in the English Premier League could consign the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal to a Europa League spot for the 2016/17 season.
UEFA mandates that each nation can have a maximum of five clubs representing it in the Champions League. Should Manchester City and Liverpool win their respective European crowns and also manage to finish outside the top 4 in the league, the fourth placed side will have to bow out.
