UEFA have decided the next season's European places will be chosen on 'sporting merit' if the top European leagues are unable to finish due to the coronavirus crisis,
This Premier League's current top four of Liverpool, Manchester City, Leicester and Chelsea will play next season's UEFA Champions League, according to this latest decision.
UEFA's decision would see Manchester United and Wolves take the Europa League places, while Arsenal and Tottenham would miss out on European football entirely if the current Premier League season is unable to be completed.
Thursday's meeting of UEFA's executive committee was led by president Alexander Ceferin and held via a videoconference from 9am.
Plenty of big decisions had previously been made by the committee, such as the postponement of Euro 2020, so it was always expected that more tough calls would be made this week.
The first strand of business was already decided during a preliminary meeting on Tuesday, which included the general secretaries of UEFA's 55 member states.
