UEFA will announce that only three clubs from England, Italy and Spain will qualify automatically for the Champions League group phase from 2009.
The fourth team in each league will face a much tougher task in making the group stage as they will have to play a qualifying round against another side from the leading leagues in Europe.
Previously, the fourth-placed teams from England, Spain and Italy were seeded against a side from a weaker European country in the final qualifying round.
The decision is expected be taken by UEFA's executive committee meeting in Lucerne, Switzerland, today.
