- Everton have claimed £170m in pandemic-related losses
Leeds United and Burnley have written to the Premier League, asking it to investigate whether Everton broke spending rules during the pandemic and reserving the right to take legal action.
The three clubs have been locked in a relegation struggle, with Everton securing their escape from the drop with victory over Crystal Palace on Thursday. Before that, their rivals asked for an inquiry that could lead to the Merseyside club being fined or docked points if found guilty. Everton say they have complied with the rules.
