Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Goal difference; 3) Goals scored; 4) If the champions, relegated teams or qualified teams for UEFA competitions cannot be determined by rules 1 to 3, rules 4.1 to 4.3 are applied – 4.1) Points gained in head-to-head record between such teams; 4.2) Away goals scored in head-to-head record between such teams; 4.3) Play-offs[7]

Notes:
  1. As winners of the 2023–24 EFL Cup, Liverpool qualify for the Conference League play-off round. If they qualify for the Champions League or Europa League via league position, the Conference League spot will be passed to the highest-placed team that does not qualify for European competitions.
  2. Everton were deducted 10 points for breaching the Premier League's profitability and sustainability rules.[4] The decision was subject to an appeal by Everton.[5] Following their appeal, it was announced that the deduction had been reduced to six points.[6]
