Norwich have today moved up to 18th in the Championship table as Leicester City have been docked six points by the English Football League for breaching financial rules in previous seasons.

The points deduction for Leicester has been applied with immediate effect meaning that the Foxes have fallen from 17th to 20th in the Championship and are only outside the relegation zone on goal difference.

It comes after Leicester were charged by the Premier League in May for a profit and sustainability (PSR) breach in the three years up to 2023-24.

Leicester were relegated from the top flight last season and are currently without a permanent manager after Marti Cifuentes was sacked in January.

In a statement Leicester said they were "disappointed" with the decision, branding it "disproportionate".

"While the commission's findings significantly reduced the unprecedented scale of the sanction originally sought by the Premier League, the recommendation remains disproportionate and does not adequately reflect the mitigating factors presented, the importance of which cannot be overstated given the potential impact on our sporting ambitions this season," the statement said.

"We are now reviewing the decision in full and considering the options available to us.

"We remain committed to engaging constructively and ensuring that any action is fair, proportionate and determined through the appropriate processes."
