David Moyes is set to serve a one-game touchline ban when Sunderland travel to Bournemouth this weekend, Sportsmail understands.
The Black Cats boss is likely to accept an FA charge of misconduct after he was sent off during his side's 1-0 defeat at Southampton in the fourth round of the EFL Cup last Wednesday.
And because of the nature of the offence - Moyes admitted swearing at the fourth official - that will mean one match in the stands as well as a fine for the 53-year-old.
The Scot was furious when Sunderland were denied a late penalty after Maya Yoshida brought down Victor Anichebe, and he let his feelings be known to fourth official James Adcock.
