Everton’s appeal hearing over their 10-point deduction for breaching financial rules will begin on Wednesday.
The hearing in front of an appeal board is expected to last three days with the outcome made public by mid-February.
The club admitted the breach but said they were “shocked and disappointed” at the severity of the punishment.
Everton were handed the biggest sporting sanction in Premier League history in November.
The Toffees have not been told how the figure of 10 points was reached by the independent commission, which decided the sanction, and feel a sporting penalty for breaking financial limits is unjust.
The appeal will go before a panel which will review the ruling of the commission, assessing the process and whether, in its opinion, the penalty issued was fair or not.
Sean Dyche’s sides are facing another possible points deduction after they were charged with breaching rules for a second time earlier this month.
Nottingham Forest were also sanctioned for alleged breaches of profit and sustainability rules in their accounts.
Everton lie 18th in the table, one point below the relegation zone after playing goalless with Fulham on Tuesday.
