Absolutely not, why may I ask?Unpopular opinion but I'd take a Wolves win on the last day of the season if it meant Chelsea missed out on a CL place, even if it means we end up without the Europa League.

Pretty sure the international breaks in September & October won’t happen. They can’t possibly happen nor can Europe competition. The reason August will work to complete this seasons is a) still the summer so not flu season & b) its a bubble. European competition and int’l play is far too many variables. Domestic competition is bubble like. Players and teams leaving overseas mid season violates that bubble drastically and creates a headache.Not confirmed yet, but probably. It's a huge chunk of the EFL's income and the Premier League agreed to keep participating as part of the breakaway deal back in 1992, so as much as they'd probably like to bin it next year that would be very difficult. The proposal seems to be to run Round 2 (featuring the Premier League clubs who haven't qualified for Europe) during the first international break which is just before the start of the season. Round 3 (where the rest of the clubs enter), Round 4 and the Quarter Final would then have to be staged during the same midweeks as European matches. So Europa sides would play Premier League on the Sunday, Carabao on the Tuesday, Europa on the Thursday, and Premier League again on the Sunday for any rounds they made it too; Champions League sides would play their European tie on the Tuesday and the Carabao on the Thursday.

If theres a vaccine by Januay then perhaps abbreviated UEFA competition can occur
I had a look at the PL table..What a really weird season this is...
- Liverpool - Champions - have just scored 77 goals - which is just 17 goals shy of us
- City have better Goal difference (+10 more) than Liverpool, yet have lost 6 more than Liverpool
- Chelsea are 3rd in league, yet they have the worst defensive record in top 10 of 49 conceded.
- Spurs are 6th but just 1 Goal difference shy of Chelsea who are at 3rd.
- Wolves one of the most "entertaining" football team have scored 49 goals, 11 short of Jose "boring" Mourinho team of 60 scored
What's the being we'll end up 7th cos Chelsea will be focused on FA Cup and lose to Wolves. Then Arsenal will win the FA Cup to take that final Europa League place!

There’ll be a long list of candidatesI propose this thread be nominated for the SC award of "Most schizophrenic thread of the year".

The thing is being in Europa next season is now totally out of our hands, and will be even when the League season finishes.
6th is not a guaranteed spot.
If Arsenal win the FA Cup, and Wolves win Europa League we are not in Europe next year. England would have 5 teams in CL in that scenario with 5th place and Arsenal only in Europa.
If wolves win the europa they will be in the CL and their Europa place (if they finished 6th) would surely go to 7th. I don't think you lose an Europa place if you have 5 teams in the CL
