Manchester City are facing a major battle to secure Champions League qualification for next season following Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Manchester United in the Manchester derby.
Fifth place will likely be enough to qualify for next season’s Champions League, but Pep Guardiola’s men need to string a run of results together to make sure they secure a top-five finish.
It places huge importance on Saturday’s visit of Crystal Palace as Pep Guardiola’s side look to maintain the pressure on the teams above them ahead of their FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest later this month.
Meanwhile, off the field, City are awaiting a verdict on the 115 charges for alleged financial breaches – which they have always denied – with the club set to discover whether they have successfully defended themselves against the Premier League’s allegations.
City were charged back in February 2023, and a 10-week trial at the back end of 2024 gave the club a chance to present their case in front of an independent panel.
The Premier League have alleged serious financial wrongdoing over multiple years. The club have always maintained their innocence.
There will, of course, be plenty of attention over the verdict – including much hyperbole and hysteria. So you can cut through the noise and discover the facts on the Manchester Evening News before the verdict drops, as soon as it happens, and then we will take you through the next steps with expert, impartial analysis.
