The team that finishes fourth in the Premier League at the end of the season may miss out on Champions League qualification, says UEFA.
Two English teams would need to finish outside of the Premier League top four doubled with them winning both European competitions in 2018/19 for that scenario to happen.
For example, Manchester United finishing fifth and winning the Champions League and Arsenal finishing sixth and lifting the Europa League – which would result in the fourth-placed team being entered into the latter tournament instead.
Tottenham were demoted to the Europa League in 2012 despite finishing fourth after sixth-placed Chelsea won the Champions League.
Regardless of who wins the Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup or Carabao Cup, England can only have seven clubs representing them across the two European competitions.
If the teams that finish fifth and sixth in the top-flight win the Champions League and Europa League respectively, the top three will qualify for the Champions League alongside the two European tournament winners.
The most expensive sports car ever to be built has been launched at the Geneva Auto Show.
The Voiture Noire built by French supercar maker Bugatti carries a jaw-dropping price of €11m (£9.46m).
According to the company, which launched the one-off car to mark its 110th anniversary, it has already been sold to a “Bugatti enthusiast”.
The car’s main feature is its unique 1,500 horse power 16-cylinder engine which has never been fitted to a car before.
Bugatti described the model as a homage to the Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic – only four were made between 1936 and 1938.
Fashion designer Ralph Lauren is the owner of the last Atlantic produced.
Bugatti president Steve Winkelmann said: “With Voiture Noire (black car) we are paying homage to our heritage and bringing speed, technology, luxury and aesthetics forward to a new era.
“The new hyper sports car reflects Bugatti’s French heritage and its French identity – elegance through, minimalism and refinement through intensification.
“This is a tailor-made creation only comparable to the haute couture of exclusive Paris fashion designers.”
Bugatti designer Etienne Salome said all the components of the car have been handcrafted.
He said: “This is a material that has been handled perfectly. We worked long and hard on this design until there was nothing we could improve.
“For us, it represents the perfect form with a perfect finish.”
Arsenal seized the initiative in the race for the top four with a 2-0 victory over Manchester United that inflicted the first league defeat of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tenure.
Granit Xhaka forced an uncharacteristic goalkeeping error from David de Gea as his swerving shot fired the Gunners in ahead inside 12 minutes before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s penalty made sure of the victory midway through the second half.
United hit the woodwork twice in the first half but there was a clear hangover from Wednesday’s Champions League heroics in Paris as they suffered their first Premier League defeat December 16.
Arsenal leapfrog United into fourth as a result of their ninth-successive home victory and move to within a point of third-place Tottenham as the top-four race intensifies with eight games to play.
Arsenal: Leno (7), Sokratis (6), Koscielny (6), Monreal (6), Maitland-Niles (6), Xhaka (7), Ramsey (8), Kolasinac (7), Ozil (6), Aubameyang (7), Lacazette (6).
Subs: Iwobi (6), Suarez (5), Nketiah (n/a).
Man Utd: De Gea (4), Young (5), Smalling (5), Lindelof (5), Shaw (6), Dalot (6), Matic (5), Fred (5), Pogba (6), Rashford (6), Lukaku (6).
Subs: Martial (5), Greenwood (5).
Man of the Match: Aaron Ramsey.
Arsenal had United under the cosh early on, registering three attempts, all of which were off target, inside the opening nine minutes, but United’s first effort nearly yielded the opener.
Luke Shaw strode down the left flank and picked out Romelu Lukaku in the Arsenal area, but the Belgian could only divert the ball onto the crossbar before Paul Pogba’s attempted rebound was blocked.
Arsenal then took a deserved lead, albeit in bizarre circumstances, as Xhaka swerving shot from 25 yards wrong-footed De Gea on its way into the middle of the United goal.
Despite seeing little of the ball, United almost drew themselves level on 19 minutes as Fred took aim from the edge of the area and beat the outstretched arm of Bernd Leno, only to see his effort clip the post.
Arsenal continued to pepper the United goal but lacked the killer touch, and they nearly paid the price on 36 minutes when Lukaku tried to round Leno, but the Arsenal goalkeeper made contact with the ball, forcing the striker to swipe at a shot which flashed across the face of goal.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Mesut Ozil all started in an attacking Arsenal line-up. Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Sead Kolasinac also returned alongside Aubameyang and Ozil as Unai Emery made four changes from the draw with Tottenham. Paul Pogba, Diogo Dalot and Nemanja Matic returned for Manchester United as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made three changes from the victory at PSG.
United almost drew level on the stroke of half-time as Pogba, Shaw, Lukaku and Dalot combined at pace on the counter and rolled the ball into the path of Rashford in the Arsenal area, but Xhaka intervened with a crucial block to preserve the Gunners’ lead.
Leno then came to Arsenal’s rescue six minutes after the interval, racing off his line to confront Lukaku after Rashford’s superb side-rule pass presented the Belgian with the chance to equalise, but the German diverted it onto the roof of the net.
It looked as though United had settled into a rhythm that would cause Arsenal problems but, instead, the Gunners doubled their lead as Aubameyang – eight days on from his missed north London derby penalty – converted from 12 yards after Fred had bundled Alexandre Lacazette to ground.
On a day where Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish was attacked by a Birmingham fan running onto the field of play, an Arsenal supporter appeared to run into Chris Smalling as he invaded the pitch after Aubameyang’s goal.
Lacazette should have put the game out of sight on 71 minutes with Arsenal’s third but he fired wide after Victor Lindelof’s misreading of the ball presented him with a clear route to goal, though it did not cost the Gunners as they saw out a comfortable victory.
Unai Emery: “I’m very proud of our supporters, they pushed us a lot and this is a big result and they created a big atmosphere for our players. United were in a good moment after one result against PSG but we had a big performance and we are in a good moment in the Premier League. To take three points and get a good position for our target is very good and I’m happy for the players.”
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: “We started slowly, maybe a backlash from Wednesday night, but we created chances and when they get the first goal it becomes a different game. We created so many more chances than when we beat them in the FA Cup. Sometimes it happens, we hit the woodwork twice and had five very big chances ourselves. We just had to go for it towards the end, but we were not really at it and it is one of those days where you have to dust yourselves down from.”
Arsenal look to overturn a first-leg deficit to reach the Europa League quarter-finals when they host Rennes on Thursday (8pm GMT). United travel to Wolves in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on Saturday (7.55pm GMT).
Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang revealed a new penalty run-up against Manchester United helped him avoid a repeat of his north London derby miss.
Aubameyang showed his nerve by stepping up from 12 yards against United despite missing from the spot against Tottenham last weekend, and made no mistake by sending David De Gea the wrong way for the second goal in Arsenal’s 2-0 win.
After the game he told Sky Sports’ Jamie Redknapp how he had made sure he didn’t make the same mistake as he had done at Wembley eight days prior.
He said: “I was confident, my team-mates give me a lot of confidence. Laca gave me the penalty and that was cool from him, I was really focused. I made a mistake against Tottenham, looking down at the last moment, not watching Lloris, but today I watched until the end – and being focused you score a penalty.
“I know where the ball is and you have to practice this all the time, and today it went in! I knew that it would be tough, but I was feeling confident and if I missed this one, what can I say?”
Arsenal’s win moves them back above United into fourth position and only one point behind third-placed Tottenham with eight games to go. The Gunners have missed out on Champions League qualification for the last two seasons, but Aubameyang said he was confident of making it third time lucky.
“We have a good spirit, we are hungry. We want to come back into the Champions League and we’re all focused on that,” he said.
“It would mean a lot [to win the Golden Boot]. It’s not easy, we have great strikers in this league and it will be tough until the end, but I stay focused and the most important thing is the Champions League first, and if I can get it then that’s great.”
