Manchester City’s quest for an unprecedented fifth Premier League title in a row will be fought amid a backdrop of their hearing into alleged breaches of financial rules which began on Monday.
The case is currently being heard in London and is expected to take around ten weeks, with the club denying all 115 charges which include accusations of failing to provide accurate financial information and manager remuneration covering a period between 2009 and 2018. Should City be found guilty, punishments could potentially include fines, point deductions or even the threat of relegation from the Premier League.
