Nottingham Forest on Monday, appealed against their four-point deduction in the Premier League.
The Premier League and Forest both confirmed the appeal in separate statements.
Forest dropped into the relegation zone last week, after an independent commission ruled that they had breached the league’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules.
It’s highly unlikely they will be given a higher points penalty as a result of their appeal.
The hearing will be heard within the next three weeks, before the April 12 deadline.
If Forest win their appeal any restoration of deducted points will happen immediately.
