Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly planning to challenge elements of the Football Association's violent conduct charge given to Mousa Dembele.
The midfielder has accepted the charge and is facing a lengthy ban after appearing to eye gouge Chelsea striker Diego Costa during Monday night's 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.
The English governing body has claimed that Dembele's actions warrant a longer ban than the three-match suspension usually handed out for violent conduct.
However, according to the Daily Mail, Spurs believe that the standard punishment is fair and will contest anything longer than a three-game ban.
Reports have claimed that the FA could impose a seven-match suspension on the Belgian.
