There are still five Premier League teams in Europe, more than any other country. Since then, Italy has been the only team capable of eliminating England from the top two in the ranking of the 2024/25 coefficient.

How are ko-effectiveness calculated?
The common efficiency of the country is calculated by the collective performance of its clubs in Europe in a specific season, divided by the number of clubs.
Each club gains two points for victory and one for a draw at any point from the group phases further – except the Play -off knockout.
It also awards a number of bonus points depending on their league ends in the group phase of the Champions League, the European League or the Conference League.
Clubs also earn points for each knockout phase of their appropriate tournament.
It means even if Arsenal, Aston Villa, Man utd, Tottenham and Chelsea England will not win the only game in Europe for the rest of the season, earning one of the two available spaces.
Premier League could have the sixth place in the Champions League next season – something that no country has ever reached – if one of them Man utd or Tottenham It can win the European League and get a reserved qualifying point from this tournament.
