In normal circumstances, three UEL places are given to English clubs who fulfil the following criteria:
- The fifth-placed team in the Premier League qualify for the group stage proper.
- The winners of the FA Cup qualify for the group stage proper.
- The EFL Cup winners qualify for the second qualifying round.
For an explanation of how Premier League clubs qualify for UEFA competitions in season 2022/23 and which clubs will feature, visit the official website of the Premier League.

Once you take into account a) City won the EFL and b) one of the big knobs likely wins the FA cup + c) the fact of City's potential ban... As low as 8th might bag EL this year.
