Cardiff City's relegation rivals Wigan Athletic have been docked three points and fellow strugglers Reading are set to learn their fate on a potential six-point deduction this week.
The Bluebirds have been staving off the threat of relegation for months now, with Sabri Lamouchi tasked with saving the club from a drop to the third tier after being brought in back in January.
Cardiff currently sit 21st in the table, three points above the drop zone but with a game in hand. That game, of course, was against another relegation-threatened team in Rotherham United, against whom their match was postponed in the 48th minute owing to a waterlogged pitch. An investigation is currently ongoing, which you can read about here, and the Bluebirds are unhappy with what unfolded as they led 1-0 at the time.
