Premier League outline Man City trial date as Everton and Liverpool await points deduction outcome

Premier League CEO Richard Masters has confirmed a date has been set for Manchester City's Financial Fair Play hearing.

City were last year met with 115 alleged breaches of financial rules, though Pep Guardiola's side are yet to discover whether they are to be charged by the Premier League. The Blues have strongly denied any wrongdoing but face severe punishments if found guilty. The threat of expulsion from the English top-flight has been mentioned as one possible scenario.

All could soon be decided regarding City's fate, as confirmed on Tuesday by Masters when speaking at a Culture, Media and Sport Parliamentary Commission at Westminster. The Premier League chief confirmed a date has been decided for City's charges to be assessed, though refused to reveal when that will be.

Many have made reference in recent days at to why Everton have already been punished while the reigning champions' case remains unresolved. Attempting to address this issue earlier today, Masters commented: "I can [understand fan frustration] but they are very different charges.

"If any club, the current champions or otherwise, had been found in breach of the spending rules for 2023 they would be in exactly the same position as Everton or Nottingham Forest but the volume and character of the charges laid before Man City - which I obviously cannot talk about at all - are being heard in a completely different environment. There is a date set for that proceeding; I can't tell you when that is but it is progressing."
