Leicester City appeal six-point Premier League deduction

Leicester City have formally appealed a six-point deduction imposed by the Premier League for breaching financial rules.

The sanction has seen the Foxes fall to the bottom of the Championship table. Leicester described the decision as "disproportionate" despite the commission reducing the original sanction sought. The club faces a relegation battle following two consecutive defeats since the deduction. Additionally, the Premier League is seeking an urgent resolution to its own appeal regarding a lack of sanction for late account submissions.
