Merseyside Police Braced For Explosive Anfield Clash After Manchester City Guilty Verdict
Story updated
The story in brief
31-second readNothing about Liverpool vs Man City on Sunday seems ordinary. The Anfield duel will be Manchester City ’s first game since they were found guilty of all serious financial breaches of the Premier League’s rules, which could see them punished in several ways.
The trial was led by an independent commission, which found the club to have arranged ‘sham’ deals to disguise its accounts, while illegally pumping over £900 million into the club through revenue from 2009 to 2018.
Manchester City could find themselves relegated from the top flight and, with the approval of the English Football League, dropped even further down the pyramid, while a huge fine and transfer ban could also be imposed.
