Manchester City has launched new legal action against the Premier League amid the wait on the outcome of the 115 charges leveled at the Etihad side, which Liverpool and the rest of the clubs in the top flight will be watching closely.

According to the BBC, which has seen a letter sent out by Premier League chief Richard Masters to the rest of the clubs in the top flight, Manchester City believes new rules governing sponsorship deals are "void".

The Premier League implemented the rules in order to prevent clubs from profiting from commercial deals such as ones involving companies linked to their owners that are deemed to be above "fair market value".

"Manchester City FC seeks a declaration that the amendments approved by clubs in November (and therefore the current APT rules in force) are unlawful and void.

The Premier League remains strongly of the view that the amendments passed in November were lawful and the APT rules comply with all competition law requirements.

The APT rules remain in full force and effect and clubs remain required to comply with all aspects of the system."
