Manchester City has overtaken Manchester United as the most valuable club in the Premier League, according to a new study on football finances.
City are valued at £ 2.394 billion, up £ 385 million, while United is valued at £ 2.087 billion, a decrease of £ 376 million due to 'higher wages and profits' weaker".
The top six account for nearly three-quarters of the league's combined value.
Burnley ranks seventh and is described as "the most financially sound club in the Premier League".
Overall, the study by the University of Liverpool's Center for Sports Business Group found that the league's cumulative value was £ 14.7 billion, down 1.6%. .
Both Manchester clubs are the only two to be valued at more than £ 2 billion in the study for the 2017-18 season.
The Spurs (£ 1,837bn), Liverpool (£ 1,615bn) and Chelsea (£ 1,615bn) saw sharp increases, but Arsenal fell to £ 1,368bn in the absence of the Champions League.
The top six clubs account for 74% (£ 10.9 billion) of the total, with Burnley almost £ 1 billion behind Arsenal in sixth.
To calculate their data, the university took into account revenues, profits, non-recurring costs, average profits from player sales over a three-year period, net badets, wage control and the proportion of seats sold.
Research indicates that the city is leading because of a combination of "higher incomes and lower wages". They made a profit of 39 million pounds on the sales of the players at the beginning of the last season, "thus removing certain high incomes from the wage bill".
