Manchester City could face a points deduction sufficient to guarantee relegation to the Championship, along with a substantial fine, according to a report from the Daily Mail, as relayed by Trivela. The 'doomsday scenario' of double relegation has been ruled out, according to TEAMtalk and Football365, who cite insiders.

Arsenal legend Martin Keown claims the saga will be 'all over' within weeks and has revealed what the punishment will be, according to TEAMtalk and Football365. Keown says he is 'hearing' details about the case, with the verdict expected in around six weeks.

Other Premier League clubs are reportedly skeptical about the timeline, with Football365 reporting that many believe the case will not be resolved this season.
