Related Topics: Premier League

Finally, after years of build-up, perhaps English football's biggest and most controversial contest is set to begin.

On one side, the Premier League. On the other, its defending champions and dominant force Manchester City.

City face 115 charges for allegedly breaking the financial rules of the competition they have won for a record-breaking four consecutive seasons.

Those charges will be heard at an independent hearing, which it is reported will start on Monday at an unknown location. Billed as sport's 'trial of the century', it is expected to run for 10 weeks, with a verdict expected in early 2025.
