Premier League to outline PSR breach outlook on Tuesday

The Premier League will issue any complaints to clubs in breach of its profitability and sustainability rules (PSR), and therefore at risk of a points deduction, on Tuesday.

Everton had also been docked 10 points in November 2023 for a PSR breach for the period ending with their 2021-22 accounts, a sanction which was reduced to six points on appeal last February.

Clubs with aggregate losses in the last two accounting periods - 2021-22 and 2022-23 - were obliged under league rules to submit 2023-24 accounts to the Premier League by 31 December, with any complaints to be issued to clubs by the league within 14 days.

There has been speculation Leicester could fall foul of the rules this time. They were charged with a PSR breach in relation to their 2022-23 accounts in March last year but an appeal ruled in September that an independent commission set up under Premier
