Liverpool are set to appeal against Curtis Jones' red card against Tottenham following high tackle on Yves Bissouma during controversial 2-1 defeat

Liverpool are set to appeal the red card Curtis Jones received in their controversial loss at Tottenham on Saturday.

The Reds midfielder was shown a straight red card for a tackle on Spurs' Yves Bissouma, with still images showing Jones' studs going into the shin of the Mali international.

But many believe the still image made the tackle look a lot worse than it was, with Jones appearing not to be reckless when making the challenge.

Simon Hooper consulted the on-field monitor and decided to send off Jones. He is set to miss the trip to Brighton on Sunday if the decision is upheld, with Diogo Jota also suspended following his red card at Tottenham.
