Liverpool and all other Premier League clubs have avoided being charged for any PSR breaches from their latest set of accounts. The Reds and all top-flight teams had to submit their 2023/24 financial figures before the December 31 deadline, and no breach is adjudged to have taken place.

Leicester City were seen as most likely to be punished, but no charges will be brought against the Foxes. The East Midlands club are still involved in a legal dispute with the league over its jurisdiction over the 2022/23 season, which needs to reach a conclusion before any new charges can be brought. Leicester won the initial case in September before the league appealed.

Manchester City, meanwhile, are awaiting the outcome of their hearing into 115 charges over alleged FFP breaches between 2009 and 2018. The potential punishments for the reigning English champions, if found guilty, could be relegation, a significant points deduction, hefty fines, or the stripping of titles.
