Everton points deduction: Toffees lodge appeal against second points deduction

Everton’s appeal against their second points deduction for breaching the Premier League's financial rules will be heard urgently and a decision will be made before the end of the season.

An appeal board has been appointed to hear the case after the club lodged the appeal to the chair of the judicial panel.

The Toffees had a 10-point deduction reduced to six on appeal in February for the three year period from 2021-2023.

Premier League says the appeal case, which was lodged on Monday, will be heard on an "expedited basis".

Meanwhile, Everton will face Chelsea at 8 this morning.
