Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham will all be gunning for a place in Europe's elite competitions when the Premier League kicks off for the 2022-23 campaign but they may have some more competition. Aston Villa have got their summer transfer window off to a flying start and harbour ambitions of competing on the continent as well.
Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte booked their place in the Champions League by finishing third and fourth respectively while Mikel Arteta will have to settle for the Europa League. The Premier League's presence in European competitions is only growing stronger too with Liverpool ensuring there is an English representative in the biggest game of the season for a third time in four seasons.
But the traditional 'big six' could be shaken up in years to come. Newcastle pose an obvious threat after their takeover by Saudi Arabian PIF earlier this season but Villa should not be ignored either.
