Don't quote me on this, but as far as i'm aware, it will.
5th - Standard Europa League place.
6th - League Cup as Man United will be in the CL.
7th - FA Cup as Chelsea will be in the CL and Pompey don't have a UEFA license to play in Europe next season.
Then there's possibly a fair play table place. Currently Arsenal are leading, Tottenham are 2nd, and Fulham are 3rd. The first 2 will almost certainly be in Europe anyway, so Fulham would qualify that way. Unless Fulham win the Europa League then........................Burnley are the next highest club who haven't already qualified for Europe.
To be honest though, why would a Villa fan care about qualifying for the Europa League? Your manager doesn't care about the competition and puts out weakened teams in order to concentrate on the league. 7th spot would be wasted on Villa.
