Luis Suarez has accepted a Football Association charge of violent conduct.

However, Suarez believes that a three-match ban will be sufficient punishment for the biting incident at Anfield on Sunday.

The FA earlier indicated that the standard three-match suspension for violent conduct was not enough.

Suarez was banned for seven matches for a bite in the Dutch league back in 2010.

The case will be heard later today.

Meanwhile, the FA has ruled against Arsenal in their attempt to have the Olivier Giroud dismissal rescinded.

Giroud was sent off at Fulham last weekend and will have to serve a three-match ban.

This means the French striker will miss the league games against Manchester United, Queens Park Rangers and Wigan Athletic.
