Yes. Normally top 4 CL plus 5th place and the two cup winners into EL. As the league cup was won by Man City, and the fa cup by us, that means that 6th and 7th get those two places now.

Whoever finishes 7th goes into the Europa conference league.

I'm now extremely nervous having woken up relaxed this morning!

I want them to do it because I want them to win every match, because they deserve it, and because obviously it'll be good for the club. But the whole Champions League 'aura' is a bit exaggerated in my view and I can't see how any football fan can watch our celebrations from Saturday and want their club to prioritise the top 4 over a cup run. 

Pretty much my view. The Champions League, for us, is purely about money- we've no hope of winning it and are more likely to go out in the first group stage given our coefficient.

 

I've no idea how much prize money we earned from Saturday and frankly I couldn't care less. Saturday was about winning.

 

You would hope players look beyond the Champions League alone but if they don't we move on.

100% this, I can see a red card for chelsea with Vardy being left 1 on 1 at some point, and a defender going

If we hold on for the first 60 mins or longer they'll get desparate and it's bound to open up space for us later on in the game.

Agreed mate and Brendan will know this, still hoping we get a early goal, and then defend and nick a 2nd on the break to kill it

I'm expecting Vardy to be like a dog on heat, this is probably the last time he'll have the chance to qualify for the CL a be the potent force he can be.

It would be disappointing if we didn't qualify having been in the top 4 all season, and the only team to do so, however it really isn't be all and end all. We'd probably end up bottom of our group or 3rd and into Europa anyway. Never gonna win it, bit could very much win the Europa!

 

The way I watched Liverpool celebrate beating west brom made me pity them a bit, its all these teams are obsessed with, playing in that bloody thing every year. I think they'd be less bothered about winning the FA cup.

 

Whatever happens happens but regardless this team has had an incredible season!

I'm actually struggling to get up for the last two games after Saturday.

 

It'll be a real shame if we don't finish as high up as we're capable of but anything really does pale into insignificance with what we've just achieved.

I retract this on the grounds it will be really, really, really funny if we beat them again here.
