Leicester City’s hope of surviving in the Premier League could be seriously damaged by the point deduction punishment they are facing.
According to The Sun, the Foxes are facing two separate point deduction punishments for breaking spending rules.
The former Premier League champions were relegated in 2023 but it only took them one season to earn a promotion back to the Premier League by winning the Championship title.
All the positivity around the club after winning promotion is now fading away as they prepare for a harsh punishment from the Premier League.
According to HITC, Leicester City are expecting at least a six point penalty this season, which could make their survival in the Premier League difficult.
After losing manager Enzo Maresca to Chelsea and key player Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to the same club, they are facing another setback and this one could have a long term effect at the club.
Everton suffered a similar punishment last season when the Toffees faced two point deduction punishments, however, they still managed to stay in the Premier League against all the odds.
Steve Cooper’s team will kick off their Premier League campaign with a difficult match against Tottenham on Monday night.
Leicester City are set for a difficult start to the new season
The Foxes will be without attacking duo Jamie Vardy and Patson Daka due to injuries which is going to make their start to the season even tougher.
Clubs have been warned that their poor financial situation and their failure to follow the spending rules will now be heavily punished.
The likes of Newcastle United and Aston Villa were on the wrong side of the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules and in order to comply with the rules, they had to sell some of their players.
Leicester have broken the rules and now they will have to face the harsh punishment coming their way.

What about 115 charges
They were the first club to go into administration and were never punished for it. They built a new stadium, started the new season in that stadium, then went into administration in October, owing over £30m to creditors. They should tackle that first before the new debts they’ve run up!
12 points is it for entering administration?
Let’s have a level playing field before tackling the Manchester City farago 😈
Good afternoon Jim
Nice to hear these old stories. Yes Leicester City went into Administration and led by the walking anagram Colin W*nker (otherwise known as Neil Warnock) the call grew that they should have been deducted 10 points (not 12) What Col failed to spot was that they won the League that year by 11 points, so would have been promoted anyway.
Time to turn your attention the behaviour of the much loved “Top Six” Premier League Teams who did their best to destroy the Premier League by conspiring to go to Europe. Points deduction for all six clubs? …ZERO
The ludicrous “fiddling the books” led by Man City and Chelsea has so far led to a points deduction of…ZERO
Up the City
