Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted a Football Association charge of improper conduct following a confrontation with West Ham boss Alan Pardew earlier this month.

Both managers have requested personal hearings with the Football Association.

The charges relate to the row which erupted after Marlon Harewood's late winner and Pardew's goal celebrations.
