Everton's case for their alleged breach of the Premier League's financial fair play rules will reportedly take place on October 25, with the Toffees said to be facing legal action from Leeds United and three other teams.
Everton were referred to an independent commission in March over their spending from the 2021-22 campaign, in which Leeds escaped relegation on the final day and Burnley were relegated.
The Guardian claims that the Clarets, along with this season's relegated trio of Leeds, Leicester City and Southampton are readying legal action which could run into 'tens of millions of pounds' should the Toffees lose their case.
