West Ham United have told the Football Association they will appeal against the red card shown to Sofiane Feghouli during Monday's defeat to Manchester United.
Feghouli was sent off after 15 minutes by referee Mike Dean for a tackle on United defender Phil Jones as the Hammers lost 2-0 at the London Stadium.
Replays suggested the decision had been harsh and West Ham will now appeal in the hope of sparing their midfielder a three-match suspension.
A club spokesman told Press Association Sport: "The FA have been informed of our intention to appeal."
If a three-match ban is upheld, Feghouli would miss West Ham's FA Cup third round tie at home to Manchester City on Friday, as well as Premier League fixtures against Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough.
