Merseyside dilemma
From the BBC:
Uefa has rejected any overtures from the Football Association for an extra Champions League place next season.If Liverpool wins the Champions League, I predict riots in Stanley Park, no matter who gets the nod for the CL next year.
The FA said it had "begun discussions" for a fifth place if Liverpool win this year's competition and fail to qualify through a top four league finish.
Everton are currently favourites to pip the Reds to fourth in the Premiership.
"The country has to decide between the fourth-placed (domestic league) team or the title holders (of the European Cup)," said a Uefa spokesman.
