West Ham United's hopes of featuring in European competition next season rely on Manchester United beating Crystal Palace in next week's FA Cup Final.

After ending the campaign in 7th place having been overtaken by Southampton today, West Ham will only enter the Europa League next season IF Manchester - who have already qualified for the competition - beat the Eagles at Wembley.

That would ensure a further space would be available for the next highest-placed Premier League team which happens to be West Ham.

Champions Leicester, runners-up Arsenal and third-place Tottenham have qualified for the group stages of the Champions League next season, whilst Manchester City will enter the Champions League play-offs.

Manchester United and Southampton have qualified for the group stage of the Europa League, whilst West Ham will join the qualifying rounds if Alan Pardew's side fail to beat the former.
