Everton and West Ham United are contenders for the Europa League via the Fair Play table.

The Daily Mail says England's top-flight will gain an extra spot in the Europa League through the Fair Play table should it finish within the top three 'fair-playing' leagues in Europe.

The Premier League is currently third in those standings, behind the Republic of Ireland and Netherlands, which would mean the team at the top of the top-flight's Fair Play table would earn a place in Europe.

Liverpool are currently top of those standings, but should Brendan Rodgers' earn qualification through their Premier League position - they currently lie in sixth place - then West Ham or Everton, second and third respectively, could take the spot.
