Here is a breakdown of who has qualified to represent the Premier League in Europe next season.

UEFA Champions League
Leicester City, the BPL champions, second-placed Arsenal and third-placed Tottenham Hotspur take automatic places in the group stages, which start on 13/14 September.
Manchester City, who reached the semi-finals of this year's competition,
will contest a play-off after they sealed fourth place on goal difference.
The first leg of the play-off will take place on 16/17 September with the return leg on 23/24 September.
The Principality Stadium in Cardiff will host the final on 3 June 2017.
UEFA Europa League Manchester United's 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Wembley on Saturday has had plenty of implications for the teams below them in the BPL table.
By beating AFC Bournemouth in their final match of the season,
United ended up in fifth thereby confirming a place in the UEL group stages.
Southampton had already claimed a place in the UEL qualifying round by finishing sixth but
United’s FA Cup triumph means that they now have a place in the UEL group stages, which begin on 15 September.
That UEL qualifying round spot goes to seventh-placed West Ham United, who will have European football for their first season at the Olympic Stadium.
The two legs of the third qualifying round take place on 28 July and 4 August.
