    "Manchester City and Paris St-Germain are facing fines in the region of €60m (£50m), restrictions on their Champions League squad size and a potential wage limit for failing Uefa's financial fair play rules.

    "BBC Sport understands the two organisations - part of a group of nine clubs under examination by Uefa for failing the "break even" test - are facing similar penalties. It's believed a Champions League squad reduction could see the clubs restricted to using anywhere between 18 and 21 players in Uefa's premier competition. A normal squad size is 25.

    "A wage cap could also be introduced on the errant clubs to ensure there is no rise on this season's squad wage bill for the Champions League. It's thought clubs have until Friday to agree a "settlement" with Uefa."

    Manchester City are facing Uefa sanctions for breaching financial fair play rules which would see the club limited to a 21-man Champions League squad instead of the usual 25 players next season, Press Association Sport is reporting.

    City, who are still strongly challenging the settlement offer from Uefa, are also facing a fine in the region of £49m over three years, and a cap imposed for next season to ensure there is no rise on this season's Champions League squad wage bill. The reduction in the size of the Champions League squad to 21 would potentially hit the club hardest, and City would also have to ensure that there are still eight locally-trained players in that A squad.

    City have until the end of the week to reach an agreement with Uefa over the sanctions.

The good sides, the experienced sides adjust their positions, look around at each other.

    "The team would feel the sense that obviously Palace were coming back into the game. That's where you've got to get closer together, support each other. That's how you win those type of games. The defending has been a little bit suspect all season."

    More on radical new plans to shake up England's professional league system [see 09:16 entry]. BBC Sports Editor David Bond says the most eye catching proposal is to introduce a new competition for Premier League and Championship clubs to field B teams which would be predominantly made up of home grown players.

    Bond adds: "Another possibility would be to pool all the clubs in League Two and the Conference with the new B teams to form a bigger division which could then be split into two regional leagues. It is understood that the Premier League and Football League clubs are broadly in favour of the B team concept but have deep reservations about how it might fit into the pyramid and the knock on effects to other leagues and competitions.

    "One question is whether current League Two clubs would be relegated into the Conference or the new B team league if they went down. The other difficult issue is how far could B teams be promoted?"
