If arsenal win the champions league but finish 5th in league do they qualify for champions league next year?

Yes, the rule was changed after the Liverpool situation last year. Arsenal would go in as the 4th English side in the Champs Lge, and the side that finish 4th (prob Spurs) will go in the UEFA Cup.

At least one team is allowed to access directly to CL.\n\nMaybe there are some EU countries which Champ team would have to preliminary qualifying games (2nd or 3rd game)... and if they and loose they're out.

Hope springs eternal. Forza Milano Campioni D'Europa.\n\nBut seriously, I was having this discussion with a friend yesterday. This is Arsenal's best ever chance, if they don't take it, they will have to wait a long time.\n\nA club of Milan size, we know it will be soon when outr team triumphs again. The same goes for Barcelona, if they don't win it this year, they'll do it before the decade is out. \nEnglish clubs must seize the opportunity when it prsents itself.

I answered the same question yesterday.\nThe correct answer comes from Arsenal's official site: "it has been confirmed that Arsenal will be wearing their yellow kit for the Champions League Final in Paris on May 17.\nBarcelona will be in their traditional red and blue."\n---------------------\nGo gunners!

Kolo Toure plays for Arsenal FC. He has been a suprise player for Arsonal lately and has contributed a greatly to their recent good form in the English Premier League trying to help his club gain that valuable 4th place position for Champions League soccer; but who knows, their run at the champion's league fight now is amazing. Maybe they'll win it.After beating Real Madrid and Juventus it looks good for them.

Win the previous year Champions League or \n\nThe UEFA Champions league is open to the league champions of all UEFA member associations (except Liechenstein, Andorra and San Marino), as well as to the clubs finishing from second to fourth position in the strongest leagues.\n\nThe number of places in the competition depends on the association's rank in the UEFA coefficients table:\n\n    * associations ranked 1 to 3 have four positions,\n    * associations ranked 4 to 6 have three positions,\n    * associations ranked 7 to 15 have two positions,\n    * associations ranked 16 or lower have one position.\n\nAn association's rank also determines the stage at which the clubs enter the competition. For example, the highest-ranked association has two places in the group stage (for champions and runners-up) and two in the third qualifying round (for third and fourth-placed teams), whereas the lowest-ranked associations have only one place in the first qualifying round for their champions. Nine highest-ranked associations have at least one automatic place in the group stage.\n\nAn additional place in the group stage is reserved for the title-holders, in case they don't qualify via their domestic league.\n\n\nMore information can be found at\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Champions_League#Qualification

They're having a mare! The problems in defence have not helped with the uncertaincy of who will play where. The team were also based around Viera for the past 5 or 6 seasons and he completed a well kept team, with his departure to Juve, the teams slick fluidity fell apart and is only now re-gelling. \n\nIn Europe however there is such a strong commitment, Arsenal have never done this well and are playing stronger than any other team left in the competition. There is something to prove here and I think that they'll go all the way.

The top four teams in the Premiership qualify for the UEFA Champions League, with the top two teams directly entering the group phase. The third and fourth placed teams enter the competition at the third qualifying round and must win a two-legged knockout tie in order to enter the group phase. The 5th placed team automatically qualifies for the UEFA Cup, and the sixth and seventh placed teams can also qualify, depending on what happens in the two domestic cup competitions.. But hope Middlesbrough win the final this year ! :)

The rules vary by countries, because only the best leagues in Europe have 4 Championship places while others only 2 or 1. But in the case of the Premiere league that you are asking, I quote the Premiere League Web Site:\n\n"The top two sides in the league qualify automatically for the UEFA Champions League. The teams that finish third and fourth qualify for the final qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. The fifth-placed team qualifies for the UEFA Cup, as do the FA Cup winners and the Carling Cup winners. If a club already in Europe wins the FA Cup, the UEFA Cup place goes to the runners-up. If the runners-up are also already in Europe, the place will go to the next highest-placed league team. If the winners of the Carling Cup are already in Europe the UEFA Cup place goes to the next highest-placed league team. \n\nEuropean Places are also available for English teams in the Inter-Toto Cup and via the Fair Play League, where the highest placed team in the Fair Play League that hasn't qualified for Europe by other means is entered into a UEFA draw. If a team is drawn out of the hat they enter the qualifying rounds of the UEFA Cup."\n\nIn summary,  first 2 places of the league directly to Champions League; 3rd and 4th place to the qualifying rounds of the Champions League; 5th place to UEFA cup, as well as the winners of FA Cup and Carling Cup (which are elimination type cups, like US playoffs), which also qualify for UEFA cup.

Same points\n\nGoal difference\n\nGoals scored\n\nIf all three of those are the same, then the two teams will have a one-off game at a neutral venue to decide who wins the league.\n\n(I'm pretty sure that's right because in the 2002/03 season Arsenal & Man Utd were really close with about 6 games to go & they were on about this)

Ye stotally agree they can win the premiership for next 5 years, people can say that KManchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal will get stronger, but so will Chelsea. 5/1, that's like taking candy of a baby!

0-0 but Arsenal won 1-0 agg. from their previous game which means Arsenal moves on to the next round.

the head to head results is used to decide which team has the advantage & Arsenal are ahead of FC Porto coz Arsenal won 2-0 against FC Porto on matchday 2 although both teams has the same number of points.

I think people do not give Arsenal enough credit.  They have a perfect team for European football... granted, that has not translated into domestic success this season, but they have been playing stellar football in Europe!  They currently have the hottest goalkeeper in the world in their squad, and that has got to count for something.  In addition, they have what I would consider the best striker in the world, along with a great defense (I'd pick Toure, Eboue, and Gilberto ahead of a lot of other players to build my defense around, I can tell you that!  Not to mention Sol is coming back to solidify the back!  Their midfield isn't too shabby either, with the 2nd most talented young midfielder in the world in Cesc Fabregas, only Leo Messi is better at this time!  It will be very close, but I have to cheer for my gunners all the way!  They will beat Barcelona in the final 2-1!

whoever comes 5th and 6th in the english premiership qualifies for the uefa cup, along with the winner of the carling cup, if the winner if the carling cup finishes in 5th or 6th then 7th place qualifies
