Man City full list of charges and potential punishment as Everton and Liverpool watch on

Nottingham Forest have been given a four-point deduction for breaking the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules. This has pushed them into the relegation zone, just one point away from safety, as we head into the March international break.

The club plans to appeal the decision, but this makes them the second team this season to be found guilty of breaking these rules. Everton were also penalised 10 points for breaking the same rules in but after an appeal, their penalty was reduced to six points in February.

Everton are still waiting to hear the outcome of another charge that was made at the same time as Forest's. This latest deduction means Luton Town have moved out of the bottom three and away from immediate danger of dropping back into the Championship.

If Forest decide to appeal, their case must be heard and concluded by April 15, reports the Manchester Evening News. The Premier League has set May 24 as the final date for any appeals, which is five days after the end of the season. Premier League clubs are allowed to lose up to £105m over three years.

However, this limit is reduced to £61m for clubs who have spent two years in the Championship. Forest's points deduction comes as Manchester City face a whopping 115 charges for allegedly breaking league rules.

The claims suggest that Liverpool's title rivals committed over 100 breaches between 2009 and 2018, leading to their referral to an independent panel in February. The club is accused of not cooperating with the Premier League investigation, not following PSR regulations,
