    With fifth position looking set to be a Champions League spot for a second consecutive season, the form of Chelsea and Liverpool has left the door open for another team to possibly pip them to that place.

    Brentford, Everton, Fulham and Brighton might not have expected to be fighting for a place in Europe's top club cup competition at the beginning of the campaign, but with all four within six points of fifth place it could yet become a reality.

    At the time of writing, supporters think the eight-placed Toffees are most likely to reach that spot, with the current poll standings looking like this:

    • Brentford - 21%

    • Everton - 60%

    • Fulham - 7%

    • Brighton - 12%

    Former Brighton forward Warren Aspinall says Fabian Hurzeler is "very happy" at the club amid links with a move away in the summer.

    Hurzeler has been linked with a return to Germany in the Bundesliga, with Bayer Leverkusen reportedly a possible destination, external.

    "There's a lot of talk about Hurzeler but I think he's going nowhere," Aspinall told the Albion Unlimited podcast.

    "He's in the best league in the world.

    "Yes he's German, but what is he going to do with Bayer Leverkusen? All the spotlight is on the Premier League. If you're doing well there you get a chance to go to a big big club.

    "Leverkusen would be a sideways step. He's getting his way of football at Brighton. He's had 18 months and he's doing OK I think.

    "He wants to stay, it's just paper talk. Nobody wanted him when we were on that poor run and there were calls for him to leave Brighton. Now we've won a few suddenly the papers talk about him leaving again.

    "He did a Q&A the other day in London with Paul Barber. I think he's very happy at Brighton and the only way he can get into Europe right now is being successful in these last seven games."
