ARSENAL and West Ham are on the brink of securing an extra Champions League spot for English clubs in 2024-25 by potentially eliminating German teams from European competition.
If Gabriel and his Arsenal teammates defeat Bayern Munich, and West Ham triumph in their Europa League match against Leverkusen, England could secure a substantial lead over Germany in the race to finish as one of Uefa's top two performing nations.
This victory would result in an additional spot for the Premier League in the Champions League next season.
Uefa's recent alteration to the "coefficient" system for the expanded competition provides Premier League clubs with a significant advantage.
Even lackluster campaigns by Newcastle and Manchester United this season would have positively impacted England's ranking.
Cashing In
Just qualifying for the Champions League will be even more lucrative next season. Uefa has revamped its cash distribution method, but performances in Europe over the past five and ten years still play a role.
Manchester City is set to receive £53 million from Uefa, while Liverpool and Arsenal are expected to earn £51.5 million and £44.6 million, respectively.
Despite not performing as well, Aston Villa will still secure around £28 million, compared to Tottenham's likely £39.4 million, with both clubs keen on securing a fifth spot for England.
Play-Off Controversy
A recent game between Genk and Westerlo in Belgium has caused uproar, with fans crying foul after witnessing what seemed like a staged result to influence the playoffs for European slots.
The Belgian FA has taken action against players, captains, and coaches involved in the controversial match, labeling it a "sham of fairness."
Euro Trip
ENGLAND fans still have a chance to secure Euro 2024 tickets, with Uefa hospitality packages offering exclusive access to sold-out games in Germany.
Hospitality packages start from £1,070 per match, with premium options including meals curated by Michelin-starred chefs.
Over 90 million applications for the tournament's 2 million available tickets were rejected due to online bot activity.
Game, Set, Match
WIMBLEDON organizers are considering changes to the finals weekend match line-up and have asked attendees for their feedback on potential alterations.
The tradition of the mixed doubles final being the last match of the tournament has been recently adjusted, with matches now scheduled earlier in the event.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to teams who finish bottom of the Premier League table?
The bottom three teams in each Premier League are relegated, and this is done at the end of every season. The Championship, or second tier, of English football, takes their place.

What is the role played by the video assistant referee in the Premier League league?
The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system is utilized in the Premier League to aid on-field referees in making the correct decisions regarding goals, penalty decisions, direct red card incidents, and cases of mistaken identity.
