Leicester appeal six-point deduction for PSR breach

Leicester City have launched an appeal against a six-point deduction for breaching financial rules, dropping them to the bottom of the Championship.

Leicester City have formally appealed the six-point sanction, describing the punishment as disproportionate despite the reduced scale compared to initial demands.

The club is fighting to avoid the drop into the bottom three, where they sit two points from safety. Meanwhile, the Premier League is also appealing the independent commission's decision regarding late account submissions.
