Last 4 winners have been from Europa group stages. In the last 10 Europa finals only 3 teams who dropped from UCL won it.
However the UCL drop outs make it to the final often. Last 10 finals, 11 Europa teams 9 UCL.

I thought Sevilla came down from CL at least 3 times. Also Barca, Manure and the Chavs. I just assumed because they were big clubs they dropped down.  Thanks for the clarification and as the auld saying goes " Everyday is a schoolday" .

Sevilla came down when they beat us, However your point still stands because teams that drop down make it to the final majority of the time.

Up to 6th after that. Manure 6 pts ahead with 2 games in hand while Newcastle are also 6 with 1 in hand. Just got to apply as much pressure as possible and hope one of them crack.

Let's hope Everton and Spurs win tonight.

Everton vs Newcastle
Tottenham vs Man Utd

It is a far fetched dream to catch them up anyway, bit if Newcastle and United win tonight I think UCL spot is definitely lost.

April 30 - Tottenham Hotspur (H): The Reds go head-to-head with one of their main rivals for a European place, days after the sacking of interim manager Cristian Stellini. Ryan Mason will take temporary charge of the side as Spurs look to get back on track and resurrect their season.

May 3 - Fulham (H): Marco Silva's side have experienced a drop-off in form of late, losing five of their previous seven Premier League fixtures. Safe from relegation, the Cottagers head into this fixture with little riding on the game other than pride.


May 6 - Brentford (H): Enjoying life in the top-flight, the Bees are on course for an impressive top-half finish after exceeding expectations once again. Key to their success has been Ivan Toney, who the Reds will have to keep quiet to stand any chance of securing three points.

May 15 - Leicester City (A): The Foxes remain embroiled in a relegation battle and will be desperately searching for points in the coming weeks. Jamie Vardy rescued a draw for Leicester at Leeds United on Tuesday and Dean Smith's side will require further moments of magic to beat the drop.

May 20 - Aston Villa (H): An unexpected rival in the race for European football, Unai Emery has transformed Villa since his appointment back in October. Liverpool will have to be at their best to come out on top, but will fancy their chances on home soil.

May 28 - Southampton (A): Currently bottom of the Premier League, the Saints could well be relegated by the time this fixture comes around. Should the basement club still be in with a chance of survival, however, this promises to be a challenging afternoon.

You’d think that the qualification to be Spurs’ second interim manager of the season is that the players like him, hopefully they get a new manager bounce… a one game bounce. ManUre don’t look good right now and looking at their schedule, looks much tougher than Newcastle’s. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to say they could drop 9 points.

So far

Everton 0-3 Newcastle
Tottenham 0-2 Man Utd

Europa it is then lads..

[redshade]

Everton 1-4 Newcastle

Tottenham 2-2 Man Utd

I can't see Newcastle dropping loads of points, they have got UCL spot sealed imo. Man Utd are a little sketchy but I still think they will make it.

CL has gone imo, you know things are desperate when you find yourself relying on that other crowd from across the park. They could go this year, they look shot, they have lost their last 2 home games by an aggregate of 7–1 and their home form is supposed to be the ace up their sleeves that’s going to keep them up.

The 2-2 score ramps up the pressure on both sides, lets hope they slip up but it's a big ask. We'll come 5th but no cigar.

Yup I think will pip spurs and Villa to 5th. Europa here we come        can't wait for Thursday night footy, back to where Klopp started.

Sooo interestingly, Brighton beat United 1-0 who have climbed to 6th 4 points behind us with 2 games in hand.

[damjan193]

They still have all of the top 3 to play against, so I can't see them reaching us unless we go on a winless run. Unfortunately I can't see us reaching United either, as they still need to drop points in at least 3 or 4 games out of their remaining 5.

Brighton still have Newcastle, Arsenal and City so good chance they will lose 2 of those.  Hopefully the wheels fall off the mancs now and they bottle it

4 points ahead with a game in hand. 2 losses and a draw and we would take them on GD I think but unfortunately they have a easy enough run. Fingers crossed though
