Sean Dyche left by mutual consent on 9 January 2025, with the club sitting in 16th place. Leighton Baines and player captain Séamus Coleman were named as joint caretaker managers. Two days later, David Moyes was confirmed as his replacement, returning to the club after twelve years.

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[55]
Notes:
  1. [a]
    Since the winners of the 2024–25 EFL Cup, Newcastle United, qualified for the Champions League via league position, the spot reserved for the EFL Cup winners (Conference League play-off round) was initially passed to the 7th-placed team (Nottingham Forest). However due to multi-club ownership rules, the winners of the FA Cup, Crystal Palace, were not permitted to enter the Europa League and entered the Conference League play-off round instead, with Nottingham Forest taking their place in the Europa League.[53] Crystal Palace appealed the decision but this was ultimately rejected.[54]
