Two competitions will get extra Champions League places next season (Getty)

Premier League clubs are at risk of missing out on an extra Champions League place this season after Manchester United and Newcastle United were knocked out of Europe.

Expanding the Champions League to a 36-team competition format next season will reward two European competitions with additional places.

This means that the team that finishes fifth in the Premier League this season can automatically qualify for the Champions League.

UEFA will determine which two competitions will benefit from the extra places based on the association coefficient rankings, which are based on the results of all European clubs in UEFA competitions.

In six of the past seven seasons, the Premier League would have secured an extra place in the Champions League thanks to their club’s performances in Europe.

But with Manchester United and Newcastle finishing bottom of their Champions League group and outside Europe in general, ESPN’s coefficient calculations place England in third place, behind Germany and Italy.

In Germany, six clubs – Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg and Eintracht Frankfurt – still play in Europe.

Italy has all seven teams – Inter, Napoli, Lazio, AC Milan, Roma, Atalanta and Fiorentina – still in Europe.

With Manchester United and Newcastle eliminated, England still has Arsenal, Manchester City, Brighton, Liverpool, West Ham and Aston Villa.

In Spain, Sevilla and Osasuna are completely eliminated, but Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad have all reached the knockout stages of the Champions League. Real Betis and Villarreal are the other two Spanish teams still in Europe.
