Chelsea are set to lodge an appeal against the red card shown to Nemanja Matic during last Saturday's 1-1 draw with Burnley.
The Serbian midfielder was sent off for pushing Ashley Barnes in retaliation for a dangerous tackle from the Burnley player.
Barnes will escape any disciplinary action for his challenge, which was seen at the time by referee Martin Atkinson.
Matic will miss Sunday's Capital One Cup final against Tottenham unless Chelsea's appeal succeeds.
