LONDON: The victories for West Ham and Aston Villa in the Europa League and Conference League respectively on Thursday could open the door for a fifth English club to qualify for next season's revamped Champions League.

Ahead of the week's matches across the three competitions, Italy and Germany were placed first and second in the UEFA's coefficient table with England in third place. England remain just behind Germany but have five teams left in Europe to the three of Germany and will be favourites to move ahead of them in UEFA's table, meaning the team finishing fifth in the Premier League will likely qualify for Champions League.Villa, who face seventh-placed West Ham on Sunday, are currently in fourth place although Tottenham Hotspur will move above them if they beat Fulham on Saturday.

"I'm pleased if the country can get another Champions League opportunity," West Ham manager David Moyes said on Friday."The Champions League is a great competition and brings in a lot more finances to the Premier League.
