Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) number of goals scored.
Notes:
  1. Chelsea won the Champions League and thus qualified for the group stage as defending champions, forfeiting their spot in the Europa League as the FA Cup winners. This meant that Tottenham were to compete in the Europa League group stage, since, pursuant to the rules in effect at the time, only four clubs from the Premier League could play in the Champions League.
  2. Liverpool won the League Cup and thus qualified for the Europa League third qualifying round.
