West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta will face a hearing into alleged spot-fixing in March, according to a report.

Mail Sport revealed in May that Paqueta was charged by the Football Association, with the Brazilian accused of being deliberately booked in an attempt to influence betting markets.

The FA are alleging that Paqueta was deliberately booked in top-flight matches against Leicester, Aston Villa, Leeds and Bournemouth so that either he and/or his friends could profit from bets placed on him being carded.

Paqueta has denied all the charges against him and has previously said that he 'will fight with every breath to clear my name'.
