With Liverpool claiming both domestic cups and a top-four finish this season, the prize of Europa League football for their FA Cup efforts transfers directly to the Premier League.
Consequently, this sees the fifth and sixth-placed sides make the grade for next season's competition, which of course are Arsenal and Manchester United.
Given that Champions League football was well within their control, Arsenal will be kicking themselves in dropping to fifth in the last week of the season. Consecutive losses to Tottenham and Newcastle saw the former steal fourth from under their noses, however in truth at the start of the season, the Gunners would likely have been happy with a fifth-place finish.
It’s a different story for the Red Devils, as they stumbled across the finish line, and if it weren’t for West Hams's defeat to Brighton on the final day, would have found themselves in seventh. Although not synonymous with United, they should count themselves lucky to be amongst England’s representatives for next year's tournament considering their poor season.
