  Burnley set to net shock European place...if Fulham win the Europa League
  

  Burnley, relegated from the Barclays Premier League, are in line for a Europa League place next season via the Fair Play League.

  The highest placed club in the Premier League's Fair Play table who do not qualify for Europe are set to win a place in the Europa League.

  The latest standings show Arsenal top followed by Tottenham, Fulham, Manchester United, Chelsea and Burnley. 

  

  Down and out: Burnley have been relegated - but could play in the Europa League next season

  If Fulham win this season's Europa Cup they would be invited back as holders, leaving Burnley in pole position for an unexpected place in Europe.

  Should Fulham not win the final in Hamburg next month they could be back next season via the Fair Play table. 

  

  European tour: Fulham are gunning for Europa League glory

  The top three national associations in UEFA's Fair Play League are given an extra Europa League place at the last table showed England in third place.
