Manchester City's Premier League fate will be left to the hands of an independent regulator as Pep Guardiola is set to learn the full extent of the club's alleged breaches.
City were charged with 115 FFP breaches by the Premier League in February amid claims of points deductions, stripped titles and huge fans.
