Everton's points deduction Q&A: Why has the sanction been reduced? What were the arguments? What are the implications for the Toffees and Nottingham Forest?

Everton have risen to 15th in the Premier League after their 10-point deduction was reduced to six.

The four points returned to the Toffees has seen the club climb above Nottingham Forest and Brentford in the Premier League table.

Everton had initially been docked 10 points for breaking spending rules in a period ending 2021-22, after out-spending the allowed £105million losses by £19.5m.

The Premier League’s appeals board reduced the sanction, but the Toffees and Nottingham Forest are both facing a charge of breaching Premier League's profitability and sustainability rules.
