The XI is full. The table isn’t settled.
Appeal lodged. Anfield next. The overhang is an asterisk on fifteen points — not an XI rewrite.
English desks will write “City money trouble” into Anfield. The graph is colder.
Premier League Core Decision (29 Sep): guilty on all serious financial-breach charges and the majority of co-operation charges; sanction hearing still separate. Today (2 Oct): City confirm the appeal lodged 7pm Thu 1 Oct; the League confirms the appeal to the Judicial Panel Chair — Appeal Board private until publication.
First Premier League after the break: Liverpool vs City, Anfield, Sun 11 Oct 16:30. City still lead the table on paper — 15 from 5 GP (BBC). The overhang shapes the fixture and the asterisk on those 15, not the XI: no dock applied, no forced absences from the case.
Sequel lane is appeal→Anfield — not a guilt essay, not the IB pause absences note.
See what others miss.
