Here is the full list of the FFP breaches Manchester City made after Everton were docked 10 points by the FA

The Premier League have issued a hefty 10-point deduction to Everton after being found to have breached the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules, while reigning champions Manchester City stand accused of over 100 accounts of breach the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons.

Following a four-year investigation into the club, which had been delayed by legal challenges, the league announced that the alleged breaches had been referred to a commission, with City facing a range of possible punishments if found guilty.

They range from points deductions to even potentially being expelled from the league, although the process is set to be a lengthy one.
