Premiership: Gregory and Vieira left sweating over FA action

Aston Villa manager John Gregory and Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieira must wait until the new year to learn if the British Football Association plans to charge them over incidents in yesterday’s Premiership games.

Gregory is facing the threat of his second touchline ban in two years after the referee in his team’s game against Liverpool ordered him out of the dugout for verbally abusing a linesman.

Vieira, meanwhile, was caught on video with his elbow in Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s face during his team’s game against Chelsea.
