The Premier League have triumphed on the vast majority of the 115 charges levelled against Manchester City , sparking chaos in English football's top flight amid the prospect of expulsion, relegation or points deductions - and an appeal process - for its most successful club of the last decade.

Manchester City, who will appeal, could face a range of punishments from the Premier League.

Rule W.51 of the Premier League handbook outlines the sanctioning powers available when a club is found guilty of breaching the league's regulations.

Here are the options:

- Reprimands and fines - Official warnings and fines up to an unlimited amount

- Points deductions - Applied to the current season or future ones

- Suspension or expulsion - In severe cases clubs can be suspended or expelled from the league entirely.

Subclause W.51.7 gives the commission broad discretionary power to impose 'any combination of the foregoing or such other penalty as it shall think fit'.
