How does European qualification work from the Premier League? We did this just so we could stop Googling it ourselves...

Everyone knows the Premier League’s top four qualifies for the Champions League. That’s usually pretty clear-cut – unless you’re Harry Redknapp’s Tottenham. But the other routes into Europe are not always as obvious. Here are the qualification criteria and permutations for the three main UEFA competitions.The top four finishers in the Premier League enter at the group stage. No pesky qualification rounds necessary.There are usually two Europa League places up for grabs.
That would also be true if a Premier League club outside the top four wins the Europa League. They would enter the following season’s Champions League at the group stage. Those, though, are the only circumstances in which there would be five English representatives in the Champions League. If a team who finishes in the top four also wins the Champions League, the place isn’t passed on to another club.
Indeed, with a maximum of five clubs allowed, there is still the possibility of suffering the same fate as Harry’s Spurs. If Premier League clubs win the Champions League and Europa League while neither finish in the top four, then the fourth-placed team would surrender their Champions League place and drop into the Europa League.
