Chelsea are likely to back a proposed top-flight cap on salary increases and a compromise Financial Fair Play deal when the chairmen of all 20 Premier Leagueclubs meet on Thursday.
The Blues had been viewed as opponents of the FFP plans - a homegrown version of those being introduced by UEFA - but it is now thought they will agree to a system obliging clubs to break even but allowing owners to cover some losses.
That means it is likely that both spending control systems will be agreed when the chairmen convene.
