Liverpool legend thinks Everton will be handed back some points

The alleged breaches of the league's profitability and sustainability rules relate to the 2022/23 season and leave both clubs facing the threat of a points deduction.

With Everton and Forest currently embroiled in a relegation battle, that would plunge their top-flight status into severe doubt. Everton have already been deducted 10 points this season for exceeding the allowable loss thresholds at the end of the 2021/22 campaign.

However, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher said he believes Everton will get some points back: "I would expect some points to come back.

"I think the initial reaction from everybody in football when they saw the 10-point deduction was that it was harsh. Yes, Everton admitted a breach so there will be some sort of sanction. What should it be? That's never happened before so it's a grey area," he told 'Monday Night Football'.

The 46-year-old went on to add: "The big thing for me is that Everton will get something back. I think it will be two to three points maximum."
