We totally deserved to lose the match against Brighton & Hove.
So from the UEFA site, and the Coefficient list for clubs. England has the most clubs in top tiers so far.

You could say we deserved the defeat against Spurs - but we should have had a penalty at 0-0 - but then again we did not deserve the win against Wolves
Of course we had also such matches....the win against Brentford was also not really deserved.
Doesn't that depends on the 2023-2024-season-coefficient and not on the five-seasons-ranking-coefficient?
Welcome to life post-fergie. We're used to cheering on City you know!
City has been guarding our legacy (Number of PL titles) against Liverpool all these years, you know…
Plus the game against Brighton we had a Hojlund goal wrongly ruled out as the deemed the ball had gone out of play.
Trying to make head and tails of that cryptic message/explanation from UEFA, as I understood it, slot 3&4 goes based on the ' "association club coefficient" of the previous season' whatever that exactly means. It's all a bit of a mess.
Fairly certain it is based only on the performance of the various league for this current European season. Even though Newcastle and United both going out in the group stage will hurt it, have to think England will still be one of the top 2.
Its based on how the teams in each country perform in Europe this season, if us and Newcastle go out of the Champions League in midweek that will probably end any chance the country has of getting a bonus spot.
It’s far less damaging if you go into Europa League.
Ironically, England will get far more points if they are both knocked out of the Champions League and enter the Europa League instead. Both teams are getting knocked out in the next round if they somehow make it through whereas they are probably favourites to win the whole thing along with Liverpool if they drop down to the Europa.
Going to be a interesting battle with those 3 for the 4th spot. No Europe will help Newcastle.
EL and Conf league also count. Villa, Pool and WH can go far.

Will 5th definitely qualify us for CL? Or don’t we have to depend on one of the English teams winning their European competition?
99% unless English club suffer unprecedented sudden catastrophic results in the next round of CL, EL and UECL.
But won’t that mean 6 English teams could possibly be in next seasons CL? Say like West Ham won Europa league and wasn’t top 4 then they’d be in it. Unlikely I know. Isn’t there a rule where say like only 5 teams from each country is aloud in Europe?
Nah there's no limit under the new rules.
It's too soon to tell because it's based on how well clubs do in this years competitions.
It'll depend on how English clubs do in Europe. Still slight favourites for it I think, but United and Newcastle dropping out has been a big hit in the chances of it. Top 2 performing nations get the extra spot.
No, it depends how well the teams do in this season's European competitions. A good chance it will be, but not if English clubs all got dumped out early in the knockout rounds.

Villa will drop. But i am not sure that we can go on winning streak
6 point gap now, hopefully one of them slip next week.
Yeah, had a look earlier. Villa play Fulham, Forest and Luton over the next three matches, while Spurs play Wolves, Chelsea and Palace. Maybe that Chelsea match can cut the deficit. Their fourth match is Villa - Spurs at Villa Park.
