One of Preston North End’s potential promotion rivals next season was handed a points deduction on Thursday afternoon.
One of Preston North End’s potential promotion rivals for next season have been dealt a major blow after Sheffield United were handed a points deduction by the EFL. The Blades resume their bid to avoid relegation from the Premier League on Saturday when they visit Brentford - but they will travel to Gtech Community Stadium reeling from the news they will start next season with a two-point deduction if they are unsuccessful in their bid to avoid the drop into the Championship.
An EFL statement released on Thursday afternoon read: “An independent Disciplinary Commission has determined that Sheffield United Football Club are to be deducted two points at the start of the next season the Club is in the EFL’s jurisdiction, with a further two points suspended until the end of that same season. “The sanction relates to the 2022/23 season, when the Club defaulted on a number of payments to other Clubs. These defaults cumulatively were in excess of 550 days.
