Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez has been charged by the FA for his comments about referee Andre Marriner before the match against Crystal Palace.
Ahead of Newcastle's match at Palace on Saturday, which ended in a goalless draw, Benitez called for the FA to review Wilfried Zaha's comments he would have to break his leg before anyone gets a red card for fouling him.
Benitez said he was "surprised" by Zaha's comments, before claiming Marriner - who officiated the match at Selhurst Park - would have this matter at the forefront of his mind.
The Newcastle boss went on to state that Marriner's record "is not the best in terms of red cards".
"He's a good player no doubt about that but I think the FA has to deal with his comments," Benitez said in his pre-match press conference. "I'm sure that Marriner will not have this in the back of his head.
"He has a lot of experience, even if his record is not the best in terms of red cards, but I'm confident he is a very good referee with a lot of experience and he will deal with the situation in a normal way."
Benitez has until 6pm on Friday to respond to the charge.
