England to have four automatic Champions League places

London: The Premier League is set to have four teams qualifying automatically for the Champions League group stage from the 2018-19 season.


UEFA announced at a press conference yesterday that Europe’s leading leagues in their co-efficient rankings — currently the Premier League, Spain’s LaLiga, Germany’s Bundesliga and Italy’s Serie A — will all have automatic qualification for top-four finishers.


Under the current system there are automatic spots for the top three English, Spanish and German clubs, with a fourth having to qualify through a playoff. In Italy only the top two qualify automatically with third contesting a play-off.
