Arsene Wenger will hope his ban is restricted to two games from the touchline when he sits in front of a Football Association disciplinary panel on Friday.
The Arsenal manager has accepted an FA charge of misconduct following his touchline tirade in Sunday’s win over Burnley. He was sent off after a spat with referee Jon Moss before pushing fourth official Anthony Taylor.
Wenger has requested a personal hearing in an attempt to mitigate the punishment. He will almost certainly be suspended, with FA chiefs considering a stadium ban. However, it seems likely the Frenchman will face a lengthy touchline ban.
