The Premier League case against Manchester City over alleged breaches of its financial rules “will resolve itself in the near future”, its chief executive Richard Masters has said.

City remain in pole position to retain their title following a 4-0 win over Brighton on Thursday night, which would be their second since 115 charges were laid against them by the Premier League in February last year.
