Going into Sunday’s final round of Premier League fixtures, Villa are fourth and three points clear of Liverpool in fifth.
Should they beat Freiburg, the only way England will have six spots in the Champions League is if Villa were to finish in fifth place.
In that scenario, England’s five spots would be made up of the top four Premier League clubs and sixth, as Villa’s qualification would technically be as the winners of the Europa League and not as a Premier League qualifier.
Bournemouth are currently in sixth place and would secure a top-six finish by avoiding defeat at Nottingham Forest on the final day of the season.
The Cherries can finish fifth, but would need to win and hope Liverpool lose to Brentford, as well as a significant swing in goal difference.
However if Villa do finish in the top four, having won the Europa League, England will miss out on the chance of having six English clubs. Instead, the top five would be England’s five representatives in the competition.
In this scenario, Portuguese side Sporting would be moved from the third qualifying round to the league phase. Sporting are the highest-ranked team via Uefa’s club coefficient rankings to have earned a qualifying round spot for next season’s competition.
Because Sporting would be moved up from the third round of qualifying, the two sides ranked highest that are entering the league path’s second qualifying round will advance into the third round.
Bodo/Glimt and Olympiakos are the two sides in line to be moved forward one round of qualifying in that scenario.
In the scenario where Freiburg win the Europa League, they will qualify for the Champions League, and the Premier League’s top five clubs will enter the Champions League.
