BREAKING NEWS; Leicester City face a potential points deduction in the Premier League next season

If Leicester City returns to the top division right away, they could lose points in the Premier League the following season, according to reports.

With 11 games remaining, Leeds is only five points behind the Foxes in the Championship standings. Enzo Maresca’s team has lost their last three games, which has caused their enormous lead at the top to shrink in recent weeks.

However, The Sun have reported that City are facing questions from clubs in both the Premier League and Championship over two breaches of Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules. It’s said that clubs suspect that City broke the top flight’s £105million limit on losses for the three years that ended last season.

Rivals are also believed to claim that Leicester will surpass the £83million of combined losses they can make over the years ending with the current campaign. The report does claim, however, that promotion back to the Premier League could see them avoid any sanction.

Leicester has not yet made available their year-end 2023 financial statements. Everton and Nottingham Forest are being punished under the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability rules (PSR) for their purported violations in the same term.

Both teams were required to turn in their 2022–23 statistics by December 31. It is believed that Leicester would have been in the same spot, but their May relegation prevented them from disclosing their stats.

City are currently five points clear of Leeds United in third place and remain top of the Championship table despite losing their past three games.
