New Champions League rules to have major effect on Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and West Ham

UEFA Champions League Arsenal Chelsea Tottenham West Ham EPL Europe Athletic

Potential new ruling could provide Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and West Ham renewed security in their dreams of securing Champions League qualification. The European Club Association (ECA) has been presented with new qualification rules for the Champions League, according to The Athletic, which will affect the quartet of London-based Premier League sides.
