Stoke City are begrudgingly prepared to respond to an FA charge of failing to control their players in their victory over Watford at Vicarage Road last weekend.
The incident took place in injury time when Stoke's Joe Allen reacted badly when Troy Deeney looked as though he was to take advantage of the Potters kicking the ball out after an injury, instead of passing the ball back as is the custom.
The pair then squared up, with Stoke captain Ryan Shawcross then appearing to protect his teammate after he had been grabbed in the face by Deeney - who was subsequently charged with violent conduct and sentenced to a three game ban for his actions.
