Mirror ranks Man United 2012 and Liverpool 2014 title cases

Mirror Football has ranked the hypothetical credentials of Manchester United and Liverpool should Manchester City be stripped of Premier League titles won between 2009/10 and 2017/18.

The Premier League found City guilty of all financial rule charges on Tuesday night and the club plans to appeal the verdict.

Points deduction, expulsion or title stripping have been discussed as potential punishments if the appeal fails.

United finished level on points with City in 2011/12 but lost the crown on goal difference after City's 3-2 win over Queens Park Rangers.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side recorded 28 wins, five draws and five losses but scored four fewer goals and conceded four more than City.

United suffered a 6-1 defeat at Old Trafford and a 1-0 loss at the Etihad Stadium during that campaign.

Wayne Rooney scored 27 league goals and was United's sole representative in the PFA Team of the Year.

Mirror Football rates United's 2011/12 claim at 9 out of 10.

Liverpool's 2013/14 title charge under Brendan Rodgers ended after a 3-3 draw with Crystal Palace.

Luis Suarez spearheaded a shock challenge that would have ended a 24-year drought instead of 30.

The Reds also lost 2-0 at home to Chelsea in a pivotal late-season match.

Steven Gerrard's slip against Chelsea became a defining moment of that campaign.

Liverpool finished two points behind City who won their final game 2-1 at West Ham United.

Mirror Football rates Liverpool's 2013/14 claim at 8 out of 10.

Premier League clubs reportedly showed little desire last week for retrospective title reallocation.
