How Chelsea, Man United, Spurs and Arsenal could be robbed of Champions League spot

- Champions League spot: Finishing as fourth best may no longer be a guarantee for Premier League teams

- Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are the four teams fighting for the third and fourth place this season

- UEFA are said to be planning for a revamp in the Champions League competition

With six games to the end of 2018/19 Premier League season, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Totteham are the teams fighting to finish behind Man City and Liverpool.

The rules guiding the Champions League allow four Premier League teams to participate in the competition in which the fourth placed team would have to play a play off to get into the group stages.

But finishing fourth in Premier League may no longer seal Champions League spot according to the latest report on UK Sun.

The report added that Premier League clubs are expected to be told the plans for a revamp of the Champions League later on Friday, April 5.

It involves the competition almost becoming a closed shop thereby making it increasingly difficult for teams outside of the previous year's edition to qualify.

Andrea Agnelli who is the head of the European Club Association is said to be behind this proposal.

And should the proposal be accepted and ratified, then it means finishing as fourth best will no longer be a guarantee to play in the Champions League for Premier League teams.

Meanwhile, Tottenham are currently occupying third position, Arsenal on fourth, Chelsea are fifth while Manchester United are placed sixth.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how embattled Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri told the club's chiefs and fans that he will deliver title-challenging team if they give him one pre-season to sort his squad.

Maurizio Sarri is currently under fire at Stamford Bridge due to unimpressive performance this season which has led to criticism from the Blues' supporters.

But the Italian football tactician has pleaded for the time to finally work with his players and the results will come.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
