Who is Lord Pannick? The lawyer who has his own banner at the Etihad and once represented the Queen... meet the man Man City have hired to head their battle against the Premier League

Manchester City's lawyer is so popular with the fans that he has his own banner in the stands at the Etihad.

The club are essentially at war with the division that they are the champions, record breakers - of, having just won their fourth Premier League title in-a-row - the first team to ever achieve the feat.

Pep Guardiola's side launched 'unprecedented legal action' - featuring a 165-page document - against the league on Tuesday, and are still awaiting an outcome for 115 charges for allegedly breaching financial rules - that are strongly denied by the club - with a hearing now set for November.
