Everton has appealed against a two-point deduction in relation to their breach of the Premier League’s Profit & Sustainability Rules (PSR), the BBC said on Monday.

The club was charged in January for violations of the Premier League’s PSR in their financial records for a period beginning in 2019-20 and ending in 2022-23.

Everton was then docked two points by the Premier League earlier this month -- its second points deduction this season -- which meant it dropped to 16th place in the standings.
