Tottenham can get UEFA coefficient boost even if Liverpool and West Ham go out

The UEFA coefficient is becoming an increasingly important topic for Tottenham as the season draws to a close. With a potential extra Champions League place on the line for the Premier League, every European fixture involving English clubs takes on added significance.

Currently sitting fifth in the Premier League, Tottenham are in a good position to secure Champions League qualification through their league position. However, the UEFA coefficient adds another dimension to their European aspirations.

The recent results in the Champions League, including Bayern Munich’s victory over Arsenal, have strengthened the Bundesliga’s position in the coefficient rankings. While this complicates matters for the Premier League, it’s not an unconquerable challenge. [Football London]

Tottenham could benefit from a boost to the coefficient even if Liverpool and West Ham are eliminated from the Europa League. The coefficient is calculated based on the performance of a country’s clubs in European competitions, with points awarded for wins, draws, and progression to the later stages of tournaments.

If Liverpool and West Ham manage to win their matches but still exit the competition, they would contribute valuable points to England’s coefficient. Additionally, Leverkusen’s potential elimination, despite a loss, could also benefit Tottenham by denying the Bundesliga an extra point.

Aston Villa’s progress in the Europa Conference League could further influence the coefficient race. Should Villa reach the semi-finals and contribute points to England’s tally, it would enhance the Premier League’s chances of overtaking the Bundesliga in the coefficient rankings.
