Europa League question

Post by D8BFC » Tue May 08, 2018 12:36 pm

I know we are looking at entering at the 2nd qualifying round.. but what happens if Liverpool win the Champions League and finish 5th in the Premiership?

Do they not defend? Leaving only 2 in the Europa League??

Regardless of what happens we will play in the 2nd qualifying round.

How many (if any) of the qualifying/play-off rounds are seeded?

I presume if there are seedings then the Prem League teams would benefit?

All three relevant qualifying rounds are seeded; because of the national English element of the seedings, we will be seeded in rounds 2 and 3, but it could be touch and go for round 4 (the so-called play-off). Depending who qualifies for the round 4, of course; if we don't qualify, we won't be seeded. :twisted:
