Burnley argues that the breach occurred during the 2021/22 season, and therefore, the deduction should have been applied at that time. This, they claim, would have prevented their relegation and allowed them to remain in the Premier League.

The case is set to begin at the International Dispute Resolution Centre in St Paul's, London, and will likely involve Burnley arguing that Everton gained a sporting advantage by breaching the profit and sustainability rules. The outcome of the case will be closely watched as both clubs prepare for an intense legal battle.

If Burnley is successful in their claim, it could pave the way for other clubs to seek compensation from rivals who breach spending rules in the future, potentially increasing the consequences for those who break the rules.
