Manchester City could learn the outcome of their box-office case with the Premier League as early as January.

The perennial champions are defending 115 separate alleged breaches of financial rules, with it emerging last night that the 10-week hearing is scheduled to begin next month.

City have been accused of financial impropriety spanning nine years from 2009 and the sternest punishment if found guilty is relegation. Points deductions and fines are also potential penalties.

The League charged City with a failure to provide accurate financial information and a failure to provide accurate details for player and manager payments.

An investigation was sparked by Der Spiegel publishing Football Leaks documents in 2018 and City stand accused of funnelling money from the club’s owners through sponsors in the United Arab Emirates.

The hearing against Man City over their 115 alleged breaches of Premier League financial rules will take place next month

City have launched separate legal action against the Premier League over financial rules

In response, City launched 'unprecedented legal action' against the Premier League

In their title-winning match against West Ham last season, the start to the second half was delayed by two minutes and 46 seconds

City — who declined to comment — deny wrongdoing and are defending their case at an independent inquiry.

City begin their title defence at Chelsea on Sunday, after winning four straight titles.

They were boosted by the returns of Phil Foden, John Stones and Kyle Walker, with the trio in for testing after an extended break following the Euros.

Midfielder Kalvin Phillips is attracting interest from Fulham, Ipswich and Everton.
