The Premier League's independent hearing into the 115 allegations of financial wrongdoing involving Manchester City started on Monday.
City have been charged with breaking financial fair play rules over a nine-year period, which started in 2009 following the Abu Dhabi United Group takeover and went on until 2018.
It's anticipated to last approximately two months, although the verdict is not expected to be made public until spring 2025 at the earliest, according to reports.
Should the Premier League win this court case, their punishment could be massive. A points deduction of up to 100 points has been mooted as well as potential expulsion from the top-flight altogether, but that possibility is some way down the line at this stage.
