Manchester City's relegation odds after 115 charges verdict:

- Guilty charges - Manchester City have been found guilty on 114 of the 115 charges that the Premier League levied against them. The verdict comes three-and-a-half years after City first learned they were accused of the breaches of the top-flight's financial regulations. - Relegation odds - Betfair have slashed City's odds of 11/1 to be relegated in the current campaign to 9/2 after news of the verdict broke. The drastic change in odds now leaves Enzo Maresca's side with an 18% chance of dropping to the Championship. - Title odds fade - The Premier League giants had odds of 6/5 to win the Premier League after enjoying a stunning start with five wins in five games, leaving them top of the table. However, news of the guilty charges has shortened their title-winning odds to 5/2. - Potential sanctions - While punishments have yet to be decided, the league leaders could face a fine, be handed a points deduction or even face expulsion from the Premier League. The shocking news has come just three months into Enzo Maresca's reign as boss. - Sixth favourites for the drop: City are now the sixth favourites to be relegated from the Premier League this season behind Coventry, Hull, Ipswich, Crystal Palace and Fulham.
