Three Premier League clubs are waiting to find out if they have they will be charged with breaching the league's Profit and Sustainability Rules - and run the risk of a points deduction - ahead of a decision on Tuesday, according to reports. 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 December 31, with any complaints to be issued to clubs by the league within 14 days.

Premier League sides are in breach if they exceed the maximum permitted 'allowable limit' of losses over three seasons - £105million - and the last year has seen a number of clubs either handed points deductions or narrowly avoiding them after appeal.

Last January, Everton and Nottingham Forest were charged for a breach of PSR regulations pertaining to their 2022-23 accounts, with the latter club docked four points. The Toffees were docked two points as the charges were heard going into the end of the 2023-24 season, having previously been docked 10 in November 2023 for a breach of the regulations in their 2021-22 accounts. This was later reduced to six on appeal.

Leicester came close to receiving a similar punishment in September, but escaped after appealing their PSR decision, arguing that they were not under Premier League jurisdiction after being relegated to the Championship last season. Premier League clubs are waiting to learn about potential Profit and Spending Rules charges.
