Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard has been charged with violent conduct by the English FA over his two-footed tackle during last month's Merseyside derby.
Gerrard faces a three-match ban if he is found guilty of the charge, which comes over a tackle he made on Everton's Gary Naysmith in the closing stages of the game at Anfield on December 22nd.
The England international publicly apologised for the tackle immediately after the game and insisted he had attempted to pull out of making any contact with Naysmith.
