Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor and Emmanuel Eboue have denied Football Association (FA) charges resulting from Sunday's League Cup final.
Striker Adebayor has denied a charge of reacting aggressively and failing to leave the field of play immediately after being sent off in the match against Chelsea, which ended in a 2-1 defeat.
The Togo striker has requested a personal hearing, which will take place next Tuesday, while Ivory Coast defender Eboue has denied a charge of violent conduct, following an incident with Wayne Bridge.
The case will be heard by an FA disciplinary commission Thursday on the basis of documents and video evidence.
The FA on Tuesday rejected appeals by Adebayor and Chelsea midfielder Mikel John Obi for wrongful dismissal.
Both were sent off for violent conduct during the closing stages of Sunday's match, along with Gunners defender Kolo Toure.
