The Premier League has secured a fifth Champions League spot for next season's competition - although that could yet rise to seven places. It is the second consecutive year that the Premier League has earned an additional spot, with the Premier League top of the European Performance Standings. Nottingham Forest could also play Champions League football next season by winning the Europa League. Each nation is awarded points based on the performance of their clubs in the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League. It would require Liverpool to win the Champions League this season while also finishing in the top five in the Premier League.
