Everton have been docked a total of eight points this season for breaching the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules. Initially docked ten points in November, which was reduced to six on appeal, this latest deduction places Everton in 16th place, two points above the relegation zone. The breach relates to exceeding permitted losses, with a recent four-point deduction alongside Nottingham Forest. Everton presented mitigating factors but still faced a new deduction of five points. They plan to appeal the decision by the Premier League Commission.

Everton's 10-point deduction reduced to 6 after appeal over financial breach, moving them to 15th in the Premier League table


Everton's 10-point deduction for breaching the Premier League's profitability and sustainability rules has been reduced to 6 points following an appeal.

Everton's points deduction Q&A: Why has the sanction been reduced?


Everton have risen to 15th in the Premier League after their 10-point deduction was reduced to six. The four points returned to the Toffees has seen the club climb above Nottingham Forest and Brentford in the Premier League table.

Premier League 'luxury tax' allows clubs beyond 'Big Seven' to dream


There's only one thing Premier League clubs have in common, one top-flight executive recently told me. Theyre all in it for themselves. It should, then, come as little surprise that agreement on a new system to replace the current Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) remains, according to another, a million miles off. There is, however, one point on which most agree when these regulations were brought in, nobody thought the likes of Nottingham Forest and Everton would be the victims. Two clubs that have had a go have ended up being the ones that the Premier League powers have gone after.

Burnley extend unbeaten run to four matches


Vincent Kompanys hopes of leading Burnley on an unlikely late-season survival charge was undone by Wolves in-form goalscorer Rayan Ait-Nouri at Turf Moor on Tuesday night. The Algerian international scored his third goal in four games for Gary ONeils side as they bounced back after falling behind to an opening goal from Kompanys struggling Clarets. With Burnley visiting Everton on Saturday, this always seemed a pivotal week in the Premier League relegation race and, after Jacob Bruun Larsen fired them in front on Tuesday night, the situation was improving for the Clarets - especially as the score filtered through from Newcastle during the first half. But the Wolves equaliser, and results elsewhere, left Burnley six points from safety, and nudged Kompany closer to the Championship. Yet his side, suddenly believing they might have a chance of escaping the drop after recent improvements, started brightly with plenty of intent.

Premier League: How teams will be separated if level on points and goal difference and why play-off is possible


The Premier League title race is on a knife edge, with Arsenal and Liverpool level at the top of the table and Manchester City just one point behind them with seven games to play. Liverpool missed the chance to reclaim top spot when they were held to a 2-2 draw at Manchester United on Sunday after Arsenal's win at Brighton the day before, while Man City kept up the pace with a 4-2 victory at Crystal Palace this weekend. There is hardly margin for error now for these sides in the run-in. But with the battle for the crown so close, there is the possibility two or even all three of these sides could finish the season level on points. What would happen then? Incredibly, in one instance there would be a play-off to decide who wins the Premier League.
