Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is set to be in the dugout for Saturday's meeting with Liverpool despite a Football Association misconduct charge.
Mourinho was charged by the FA after being sent to the stands by referee Jon Moss at half-time in last weekend's 2-1 defeat at West Ham United.
He had until 6 p.m. on Thursday to respond to the charge, and according to widespread reports the case will be heard by a panel next week.
First-team coach Silvino Louro has also been charged with misconduct after he was sent off following the dismissal of Nemanja Matic just before half-time, and both clubs were cited for failing to control their players.
Mourinho, whose position as Chelsea boss is under scrutiny after a fifth loss from 10 Premier League games this term, is already contesting the £50,000 fine and suspended one-match stadium ban levied for comments about referee Robert Madley following the Oct. 3 loss to Southampton.
He branded the sanctions a "disgrace" and "absolutely astonishing," adding, "I am happy that I don't have an electronic tag. I think it's not far from [that]".
Mourinho, whose suspended stadium ban relates specifically to media comments, perceives inconsistencies in the FA's disciplinary process and called for his relationship with the governing body to be examined.
He has publicly highlighted Arsene Wenger avoiding sanctions for pushing him in the technical area in October 2014 and for calling referee Mike Dean "weak and naive" following Arsenal's loss at Stamford Bridge last month.
The events at Upton Park prompted the latest in a long line of disciplinary events involving Mourinho during his second spell as Chelsea boss.
Chelsea were already hit with an automatic fine of £25,000 for six or more bookings in the contest, while Serbia midfielder Matic will served a one-match ban, missing the Capital One Cup penalty shootout defeat at Stoke on Tuesday night.
