What happened. Mauricio Pochettino has called for Chelsea to be stripped of their 2016/17 Premier League title and for Tottenham to be awarded the crown instead. The claim comes in the wake of financial breaches, with Chelsea hit by a £10million fine and a suspended punishment in July.

• Chelsea won the 2016/17 title on 93 points, with Tottenham second on 86.
• Pochettino argues Tottenham should receive the title in Chelsea's place.
• Chelsea were fined £10million in July over financial breaches.

Pochettino's suggestion reignites debate over how financial breaches should affect past Premier League titles.
