Premier League club faces points deduction this season

The Premier League has strict financial rules and punishes teams that break them.

Everton and Nottingham Forest have been severely punished by the Premier League for failing to comply with the rules.

Newly promoted Leicester City could now be in trouble in the league, with the threat of penalty points deductions still hanging over their heads.

According to Football Insider, the Foxes are still expected to have a penalty reduced.

Football Insider journalist Pete O’Rourke believes the former Premier League champion won’t get away with this.

After finding legal loopholes, the Foxes have managed to avoid punishment for now.

However, it is possible that they may be punished for a separate offense they committed.

If they lose, they could be in big trouble with the competition and be severely punished.

Leicester City have had a poor start to the Premier League season

Their poor start to the Premier League season has been made even more worrying by the latest news of their potential punishment.

Steve Cooper will be hoping to turn the tide for the team, at least on the pitch, with positive results in the upcoming games against Crystal Palace and Everton.

Leicester had to spend wisely this summer to strengthen their squad as they were already struggling financially.

Cooper tried to approve deals that were not expensive and focused more on the bargains available in the market.
