I get that if you win on Tuesday and win the FA Cup Southampton claim your league place.
If you lose on Tuesday but win the FA Cup. Southampton still have the league position.
If you win on Tuesday but lose the FA Cup. Southampton have to Qualify?
If you lose both you have to Qualify?
Are Crystal Palace also put into the Qualifying position if they lose the FA Cup final?”

As I understand it Man Utd and Southampton are already guaranteed the Europa League for finishing 5th & 6th. However if we win the FA Cup we'll qualify by that route instead and West Ham will take our league qualifying place as the next best placed team, if Palace win they'll qualify for the Europa League instead of West Ham. I think that's right, lol.
