I don't know who else is in there.

Brighton are a point behind.

Everton are a point behind.

And Fulham are three points behind.

Well, would you consider that Chelsea are 6th?

I think everyone is in with a chance.

Because Chelsea are going to stop losing.

But here's the thing, right?

It's all important which team finishes 5th.

Because if that team is Aston Villa, and if Aston Villa also win the Europa League, which there's a pretty good chance of happening.

They're in the semifinals.

They have to play Forest in the semifinal, but that's the final.

Right?

If Villa finish fifth and win the Europa League, then sixth place in the Premier League qualifies for the Champions League as well.

But if Villa win the Europa League and finish fourth, then it's only the top five.

Wow.

He's just blown my trousers off.

Wow.

Okay, so you know there's four places which are automatic, and then the fifth is like there's two leagues that get this special bonus place, basically the two top-performing leagues, and one of them is going to be the Premier League because of the results in Europe this season.

But that qualifying place is somehow in a separate category from the four above it.
