West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce admits the Europa League Fair Play place won't be settled until the end of the month.

Allardyce wrote in the London Evening Standard: "My own position remains unclear and another issue that is up in the air at the moment is whether or not we will be involved in the qualifying rounds of the Europa League next season after England were awarded an extra place.

"As I understand it, Liverpool are top of England's Fair Play rankings but they will qualify for Europe anyway so that opens up another spot which is between ourselves and Everton, our opponents tomorrow in what is our final game of the season at the Boleyn Ground.

"Just to make things a little clearer, if we collect a few more yellow cards than Everton tomorrow, that won't mean we've blown our opportunity. There's a lot more to it than that - positive play, behaviour of fans and much more.

"We'll finally be informed at the end of this month and then, if we are the chosen ones, the planning will have to be meticulous."
