Before that was understandable. But now there is a Champions League place up for grabs in the Europa Leauge it should be a much higher priority than it used to be.

I suppose Everton are still there, would be great to see them win it and get into the CL

Everton a very average premier league team will go for it no doubt.  But the likes of Liverpool, totenham, arsenal, United are all competing for 4th spot and that's their main priority.  Last season you could of added Everton to that list and this year Southampton. 

But you said the Premier League is by far the strongest league in the world. So why would they rather compete against other Premier League teams if going for the Europa League win would be so much easier? The goal isn't 4th place, it is Champions Leauge qualification, so surely they should take the easiest route to that, no?


Because so much can go wrong with a competition like that.  Like Liverpool losing on penalties. This year united,  arsenal,  Liverpool,  totenham and Southampton are battling over 2 places.  The fans and clubs  value the league over the second tier competition of Europe.
