Everton could be facing a huge points deduction in the Premier League over an alleged breach of Financial Fair Play rules.
The Premier League has reportedly recommended The Toffees are slapped with a record 12 point deduction, with a final decision now resting in the hands of an independent commission which is set to reach its verdict later this year.
Everton have collected seven points from nine games in the Premier League so far this season, courtesy of wins over Brentford and Bournemouth and a draw with Sheffield United.
Sean Dyche?s side are currently sat in 16th place – three points above the drop.
However, if the penalty was to be applied now, this would send them crashing down to the bottom of the table, marooned on -5 points and ten points adrift of safety.
This would lift Burnley, who presently occupy the final relegation spot, above the dreaded dotted line.
And winless Sheffield United, who currently prop up the table with just one point, would climb to 19th.
