We’ll have all of this and much more to come throughout the day.
Leicester FFP update
Leicester City have won an appeal against a case with the Premier League over Profitability and Sustainability rules (PSRs) meaning they will avoid a points deduction, football.london writes.
The Foxes, who were promoted back to the top-flight last season, have successfully argued that they were no longer members of the Premier League for part of a period in which they were accused of breaching the rules.
An independent appeal board has ruled that the Premier League did not have the jurisdiction to charge the club during the 2023/24 season, one which they were in the Championship for. The club were initially referred to an independent commission for an alleged PSR breach in March.
