Premier League faces questions over Manchester City case after Liverpool win
Manchester City beat Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield and remain top of the Premier League, with six wins from six.
The match took place amid uncertainty following an independent commission’s guilty verdict against City.
The verdict and possible sanctions have raised questions about whether the result, or other results, could later be affected.
Some club executives have discussed whether City should be suspended or expelled before the case is resolved.
One league rule appears to allow 15 clubs to vote for expulsion, but that outcome is considered very unlikely.
City could challenge such a move in court, which could add further disruption.
The uncertainty is also worrying some people involved in club ownership and investment, as potential buyers are becoming more cautious.
