Premier League chief executive Richard Masters says a date has been set for the hearing into Manchester City's alleged breaches of financial rules.
Everton, already appealing against a 10-point deduction for a previous charge, and Nottingham Forest were charged for breaching league profit and sustainability rules on Monday.
Masters said he understood why both clubs' fans might be frustrated.
"I can [understand] but they are very different charge" he told the Culture, Media and Sport (CMS) committee.
"If any club, the current champions or otherwise, had been found in breach of the spending rules, they would be in exactly the same position as Everton or Nottingham Forest.
