The top four teams in the Premier League - title winners Manchester United, plus Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool - have qualified for next season's Champions League.

Manchester United and Chelsea will contest the Champions League final - but whoever wins, it will not mean any extra places for English clubs.

UEFA CUP

English clubs are offered three places in the Uefa Cup - for the FA Cup winners, the Carling Cup winners and the fifth-placed team in the Premier League.

Everton finished fifth and so have qualified for the Uefa Cup, as have Carling Cup winners Tottenham.

The FA Cup final will be contested by Portsmouth and Cardiff City. If Cardiff win, a Football Association board decision on 24 April approved them to represent England in the Uefa Cup - even though Welsh clubs are registered with the Football Association of Wales and normally are only able to qualify for Europe through their own competitions.

ADDITIONAL PLACES

Intertoto Cup: England can gain an additional Uefa Cup place by entering a team into and winning the Intertoto Cup. Aston Villa, Blackburn and Manchester City had indicated their willingness to enter - and as sixth-placed Villa finished highest of those clubs, they are set to take England's place.

Uefa Fair Play League: In order to be eligible for one of the three places available via the Fair Play League, an association must score an average of over eight. The top association gets a Uefa Cup place, while all other associations with an average of over eight (there are currently eight) are placed into a ballot.

England are guaranteed an extra place after topping the Fair Play League, and it will be given to the team placed highest in the Premier League Fair Play League that has not qualified by other means. At the moment, Manchester City are in the driving seat.
