If man city win the Capital one cup, will 6th place then qualify for Europa league?
{Ed025's Note - no mate...sunderland..
1.) Ed025: I think that applies to the FA Cup runners up if the winners have already qualified for Europe and not to the League Cup runners up. Here's what's stated on the Internet.
"Two Europa League places are reserved for the winner of each of the domestic cup competitions; if the winner of the FA Cup qualifies for the Champions League, then that place will go to the runner-up, and if the runner-up is also already qualified, then that place will go to the next-best placed finisher in the Premier League. If the winner of the League Cup has already qualified, that place goes to the next-best placed team in the league. A further place in the UEFA Europa League is also available via the Fair Play initiative."
{Ed025's Note - oh right, I must have read it wrong..cheers baron..
2.) Ed - that is wrong - runners up in the Capital One Cup do not go into the Europa League, it goes to the 6th placed team if the winners qualify for the CL.
3.) I thought that was just in the f a cup ed? If a champions league team wins the league cup doesn't the Europa league place then go to sixth?

5.) You could have a worst case scenario (for us) where:
The top three qualify for the Champions League;
A team finishing outside the top four (say ManUtd) wins the Champions League and therefore takes the fourth Champions League qualifying spot;
The team in fourth then only gets Europa League qualification;
Two other teams get the remaining two Europa League spots because of the FA Cup and League Cup;
Which means that a team could finish fifth but miss out on European qualification, whereas lower finishing (even relegated!) clubs could qualify because of their cup situations.
Bottom line: we need to win the FA Cup, or be runners up to a CL-qualified team, or finish high enough (no lower than 7th) and hope for the best.
6.) Baron; I somehow doubt that United will be winning the Champions League anytime soon.
