Part 2
Now, onto why the Blues have some unlikely fans in regards to winning the FA Cup.
The Evening Standard take up the slack…
“Premier League giants are facing summer fixture chaos if Manchester City don't win the FA Cup.
“City are already destined for the Premier League top four to secure their place in the Champions League next season, and their win in the EFL Cup means sixth place is also guaranteed a Europa League spot.
“If City don't win the FA Cup, the winners will come from outside the top six with Wolves, Watford and Brighton also remaining in the draw.
“That would mean whoever loses out in the race for the top six and finishes sixth would enter the Europa League at the second qualifying round, rather than at the group stage.
“As a result, either Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea or Tottenham would have to start their season as early as July 25, when the qualifying fixtures take place.
“The only way this could be avoided is if the sixth place team win either the Europa League or Champions League to therefore secure a spot in the Champions League group stage.
“Four major clubs have already been booked in for summer pre-season tours, which could be severely disrupted if they have to play a Europa League qualifier.
“It would be a major blow for whichever club is affected, given overseas tours have become lucrative business for the Premier League big boys in recent years.”
Told you there was plenty to go at!
More of the same tomorrow…
