note 1: teams shaded in orange have qualified for, at minimum, Europa League competition
note 2: teams shaded in green are in line to qualify for European competition depending on upcoming results this week
note 3: Manchester United, through winning the 16/17 League Cup, will qualify for European competition next year

Cup Berth & European Competitions
--Since the finalists of the 2016–17 FA Cup (Arsenal and Chelsea) and the 2016–17 EFL Cup winners (Manchester United) are all currently in the top 7 of the Premier League table, all of the top 7 teams would qualify for European competition. However, the round that Arsenal and Everton would qualify for in the Europa League would depend on who the FA Cup winner is. If Arsenal win the FA Cup, they would qualify for the group stage while Everton would qualify for the third qualifying round. If Chelsea win the FA Cup, Everton would take the group stage berth with the third qualifying round berth going to Arsenal.
