Premier League Qualification Overview

Manchester City's former chairman David Bernstein has issued a stark warning that financial penalties will not suffice after the club were reportedly found guilty of the vast majority of their 115 financial charges. With immense wealth at their disposal, Bernstein believes that a points deduction or automatic relegation from the Premier League are the only viable punishments.

Roberto Mancini has firmly distanced himself from the recent financial regulation breaches surrounding Manchester City. The Italian manager addressed the allegations regarding a controversial double contract during his time at the Etihad, insisting the issue does not concern him while maintaining that the Premier League champions are actually innocent.

Manchester United's medical department is set for another busy week after Patrick Dorgu became the latest first-team star to suffer an injury during the international break. The versatile wideman was forced to withdraw early from Denmark's Nations League fixture, leaving manager Michael Carrick sweating over his fitness ahead of a crucial run of games.

Points deduction, relegation, or compensation worth millions?
