As it stands, I would back Man City to walk away victorious by split decision. While a win in writing would be a great success for the English champions, I'm sure they're aware of how significant a defeat would be for the Premier League.
Not only would the competition and its higher-ups lose great credibility, but other teams in the division would likely come forward to challenge previous decisions and rulings. It would be a mess and both parties would likely lose a lot of money in the long-run.
So, I reckon the Premier League will offer Man City a truce. They'll go their separate ways, both claiming a win to save face, and Richard Masters will rewrite the competition's rules to ensure a case of this magnitude never happens again.
I'm sure the Premier League would love to throw the book at Man City, but I just can't see them unanimously winning the legal battle...
