No, it is not highly likely at all. Europe's top 3 leagues get 4 teams and these are Spain, England and Germany - very FAR ahead of Italy, Portugal and France. Also, the number of participants for the 13/14 season is decided by the end of this season and based on the last 5 years of European performance - so, yes, it can be confirmed with a certainty of about 1000% that England will have 4 teams (3 qualified + 1 playing a qualifier) for the next 3-4 years at least.

Having said that, I think Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham will fight for that 4th spot next season. Will be quite exciting.
