How is the Premier League doing in the race for five Champions League places?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cgk8yz68ynlo

Football Rankings reckon England has a 99% chance of being allocated a fifth CL spot.

What % chance does it give Poland, current coefficient leaders?

Poland have no chance as all their clubs are in the Conference. So no more league points, position points are lower. as are any knockout wins.

Plus they have already had their "bonus" points for the finished league phase where most of the bigger countries won't get theirs as the competitions their teams compete in are still in League phases.

Handy results in the last round - other than ours obviously. Opportunity on Saturday now.

If you look to the end of the season Arsenal don't leave London after 18th April - last 5 games.

My old dad used to complain that they once won the cup not having to play a game outside of London lmao. No idea if that’s actually true.

It's happened twice. 1950 and 2014.

We need better luck with injuries or it’ll be harder than it should be.

I'm fucking fuming that random draws produce random outcomes.

It’s TWICE - in 1950 something and again in 2000-something. It’s a consistent pattern - you can bet the house it’ll happen AGAIN in 2050-something. Hardly sounds like the outcome of a random draw to me!!!

It's clearly a deliberate plan carried out by different generations of corrupt officials to ensure that they give one of the better teams less travel during their cup run, once every sixty or so years.

That's how England won the World Cup..well that and not telling the opposition the venue had been changed until the last minute. Can we now expect England to win the 2026 World Cup? Every 60 years you said.

I think if we get this transfer window right, done and dusted.

12 points clear of 6th. Incredible.  Today's result was exactly what top teams do.  If they have a bad result, they bounce bad immediately, and though the scoreline wasn't particularly dominant, the performance most certainly was.

Any doubts that the Arsenal result would throw us off and see our confidence dented will hopefully be put to bed after today.  If we can actually go on and win away at bogey-team Palace, I'll not only think the Champions League is on, I'll start thinking the title is back on!

Palace don't have Sarr, but do now have Johnson...

But this week has to be our best chance of a result at Selhurst Park in many a go. I would start Malen and Watkins to put more pressure on the back three then we normally do.

1/14 with Paddy Power to finish top 5. I'd say we have a chance.
