If Sunderland get to the final and lose against Man U or Arsenal then yeah they'll go into the UEFA next season...same thing happened to Southampton last season.
Yeah thats what I thought too.

Its either the runner up in the final, or if both teams in the final have qualified, then the next highest placed team in the league.

Hence why Southampton went into the UEFA cup this year.
