As the Premier League standings is reshuffled, Arsenal gains an advantage over Liverpool in terms of points deduction

According to liverpoolecho, Arsenal’s prospects of winning the Premier League championship have improved. They’ll face Manchester City and Liverpool in March, resulting in nail-biting matchups for supporters. In addition, the Premier League’s recent decision to modify point deductions may have a role.

Everton was fined ten points last year for violating the Profit and Sustainability Rules. The club was upset, so they attempted to overturn the ruling, and everyone waited to see what happened. On Monday, an independent appeals body determined that Everton would not lose as many points as previously expected. Instead of 10, there will be six.

According to football.london, the Premier League stated: “Everton FC appealed the sanction imposed against it on nine grounds, each of which related to the sanction rather than the fact of the breach, which the club admitted.”

They went on to explain: “The Appeal Board upheld two of those nine grounds, replacing the original points reduction of ten with six. This new punishment takes effect immediately, and the Premier League standings will be adjusted today to reflect it.

According to the most recent results, Nottingham Forest has dropped to 17th place in the league, with Everton going above them and Brentford moving up to 15th. This move in the table might be game-changing for Arsenal. Previously, Forest had the safety net of Everton being lower in the standings. But now that Sean Dyche’s club has surpassed them, Forest will be even more desperate to collect every point they can.

The next encounter for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side is against Liverpool. Despite a late goal from former Red Taiwo Awoniyi, Arsenal narrowly won at the City Ground.

Last season, Manchester City dropped two points at Forest, while Arsenal’s championship ambitions were shattered by a 1-0 loss to Steve Cooper’s side. The City Ground is not an easy place to win, and with Everton’s recent success, Arsenal will be hoping that inspires Forest to grab points from Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Liverpool’s next opponent is City, while Arsenal faces Sheffield United and Brentford. If things go their way, Arsenal might return to the league’s top spot for the first time this season.
