The scheduled date means that Pep Guardiola and co will avoid a points deduction this season, denying Arsenal and Liverpool a boost on their quest for the Premier League title.<\/p>\n<p>City stand accused of breaching Premier League rules on more than 100 occasions following an investigation launched in 2018. If found guilty, authorities will be under pressure to dish out a severe penalty after Everton were docked 10 points for breaking profit and sustainability rules earlier this season.<\/p>\n<p>According to The Daily Mail, City and the Premier League have provisionally agreed to face an independent panel in late Autumn next year, with the verdict expected to be handed down in the summer of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>That means that unless any punishment imposed is retrospective, it won&#8217;t affect the outcome of the 2023\/24 season, nor the title race currently being contested by City, Arsenal and Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Arsenal star Saka shouts &#8216;didn&#8217;t happen&#8217; as presenter brings up old interview<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Man-City-Pep-Guardiola-5092871.jpg?r=1701344445672\"><\/p>\n<p>It also suggests that Guardiola may not be around to face any possible consequences, with his Sky Blues contract due to expire around the same time as the anticipated verdict.<\/p>\n<p>And whoever steps in to replace the former Barcelona boss could be set for a nervous wait, with the possibility of delays and appeals threatening to push the date back even further.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Read more&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Chelsea chief Todd Boehly shown he dropped a \u00a330m clanger as Arsenal run riot[COMMENT] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Chelsea star Thiago Silva bigs up Reece James after Mauricio Pochettino apology[INTERVIEW] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta may be about to waste millions after Lens thrashing[ANALYSIS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>City are charged with breaching Premier League regulations over the course of more than a decade, starting from the 2009\/10 season.
