"England (23.847) already have a coefficient score pretty much the same as last season's second-placed country (Spain, 23.892). Nothing should be completely taken for granted, as England seemed destined to get an EPS slot in 2023-24 only to suffer a terrible set of results in the quarter-finals. But it is going to take another very bad night on Thursday for there to be any real jeopardy."
"The two nations which perform best across the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League will be handed European Performance Spots (EPS) by Uefa. That could mean an extra spot for the Premier League, with fifth promoted from the Europa League to a ticket to the Champions League. Newcastle benefited this way last season."
"As a picture of how far England are ahead, German and Spanish sides are effectively 18 victories behind. And Serie A can no longer catch the Premier League."
The Premier League faced a difficult week with four of six teams eliminated from Champions League last 16 matches. However, England is virtually assured of receiving a European Performance Spot (EPS) from UEFA, which would promote fifth place from the Europa League to Champions League qualification. England's coefficient score of 23.847 matches last season's second-placed Spain at 23.892, making an extra spot highly likely. German and Spanish sides trail by approximately 18 victories, while Serie A cannot catch the Premier League. Spain currently holds second place with six teams remaining in European competition, but faces internal competition as Barcelona plays Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals. Bayern Munich versus Real Madrid will significantly impact the coefficient race between England and Spain.
