If Chelsea wins, nothing changes for the PL. If Arsenal wins, they get added to the mix. They no longer bump people from the league that wins either the UCL or Europa (as Chelsea did to Spurs when they won UCL a few years back)

Obviously, both Liverpool and Spurs are already qualified for next year, so no changes will take place with PL teams because of the UCL final.

See the link for some more information:

"Chelsea already booked a Champions League group stage place by finishing 3rd in the Premier League. Arsenal is already in next season's Europa League but could upgrade to the Champions League by beating Chelsea in Wednesday's final. If Chelsea wins, that extra Champions League group stage spot goes to Lyon. How one Premier League club winning this season's Europa League benefits a Ligue 1 club is down to UEFA logic. It's because Ligue 1 is the highest ranked domestic league without four Champions League group stage spots, an indication of how silly all of this has gotten"
