The maximum places in Champions League that any country can have is four. These are usually the top 4 in League.
However if someone outside that top 4 were to be Champion League winners they would be entitled to defend their win so only the top 3 would qualify from the League.
Wouldn't it be funny if Everton finished 3rd in Premiership and STILL didn't get place in Champions League because Liverpool are defending champions?
Course it's very unlikely that Liverpool can become champions but then there are only 4 teams left who can...

Chelsea v Liverpool - only one result, surely.
But well done Liverpool for making it this far.

As an Evertonian this worries me, but not as much as I'm worried by the remaining fixtures that Everton, Liverpool and Bolton have.
Come on you mighty Blues.

With Gerrard, Alonso and Cisse back in the team, anything can happen.
I still very much agree with you that Chelsea should and probaby will win the semi final but its football after all, anything can happen..

apparently as the rules stand uefa would have to request everton stand aside for liverpool, if liverpool win the competition and everton finish 4th. i heard this on radio 5 live a couple of weeks ago.
liverpool won't win though, so don't worry all you evertonians.
Liverpool will win so do worry, evertonians!!!!
P.S Drogba is rubbish
