A question about Europa League qualification. If Hull bears Arsenal for the Cup, would Hull get the not over the sixth place Spurs?

If my math serves me well, 3 points in the next 3 matches secures some form of qualification, with a finish of no less that 5th. Win all 3 and let Arsenal stumble.well my question is moot.

Yes hull get the europa place as they win the cup. if they lose, the europa place goes to spurs if they are sitting in 6th at the end of the season and arsenal already qualify for europe which I think they are almost guarenteed, just a matter now of deciding which of us 2 are going to get cl and which will get europa.

{Ed002's Note - No. Hull.}

I'm pretty sure that the winner of FA cup goes into europa cup, but if the winners have got a CL place, it is the runners up in FA cup that go into europa, NOT next league place

{Ed003's Note - correct}

Hull are in Europe next season win or lose. We need 1 point to guarantee 6th and 3 points to guarantee 5th if Spuds and UTD win all their remaining matches. So beat or draw with Southampton and we're in Europe. Also puts pressure on the Arsenal as Newcastle are due for a win and I fancy Norwich to do them at home last match of the season

If Arsenal wins the Cup, but falls to 5th behind Everton, then the Spurs would get Europa 6th place instead of Hull. Looks like the Spurs are big Gunner fans now.

At least that's my figuring.

Guys

6th place gets Europa League next season due to Manchester City winning the League Cup, so no what happens in the FA cup final Hull will also get Europa League next season.

Dollo

If we get one more point we are guaranteed European football. It is the top 6 that get European football this season. Due to the way the league cup went, 6th place opens up. If, say for example, the final of the FA cup was Arsenal v Man City, then 7th place would have opened up, instead that 7th place now goes to hull as Arsenal have already qualified for European football.

The team finishing 6th will get euro league place as city won the league cup and are in europe already

6th definitely has one from the league cup already.

If Arsenal win the cup and slip to 5th, they take the cup place because that skips a qualifier (higher ranked qualification spot) and 7th in the league opens up shafting Hull. but if Arsenal slip to 5th, that means we got 4th and don't give a monkeys about Europa League.
