The club had until yesterday to notify the FA of their intention to appeal, which they did.

A combination of written and video evidence was submitted to form their appeal, which had to be submitted by 12 noon today.

Sako faces a three-match ban after being sent off for violent conduct following a clash with Watford's Fernando Forestieri in Saturday's 2-2 draw.

But video evidence showed there was minimal contact from Sako before Forestieri, who fouled the winger then pushed him, went to ground clutching his face.
