Everton's latest two-point deduction has changed the Premier League relegation picture, with the Toffees having seven games left this season.
Everton were hit with a 10-point penalty back in November for a breach of profit and sustainability rules relating to the three-year period that ended in the 2021-22 season. This punishment was reduced to six points on appeal in February.
On Monday, it was confirmed by the league that the club has been deducted a further two points for a second breach, relating to the three-year accounting period ending in the 2022-23 campaign.
The Goodison Park club announced their intention to appeal in a statement which said they 'didn't feel the further sanction was appropriate.'
