Nottingham Forest are facing a potential points deduction after being charged with breaching the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules (PSR), and Everton could lose more points after being charged with a further breach of the same rules.

The clubs have 14 days to reply to their charges before facing a hearing from an independent panel that will decide on any punishment. Forest can expect to learn their fate in early April and will have the right to appeal. The high-profile sports lawyer Nick De Marco KC has been employed to fight their case.
