Manchester City fans booed the Premier League anthem prior to their league game against Aston Villa.
The Citizens have been charged with breaching more than 100 Premier League financial regulations over a period of a decade.
City boss Pep Guaridola and former captain Vincent Kompany have both defended the club, while City fans are turning on the Premier League.
The club does have precedence for such a move, with fans booing the UEFA anthem during the Champions League for several years.
City eventually escaped punishment after breaching UEFA financial regulations, winning the case on appeal.
The club is likely hoping to achieve a similar outcome in this instance.
