Leeds and Villa fall-out
Aston Villa have been handed a boost after Anwar El Ghazi's suspension was overturned.
The Villa star was sent off in Sunday's controversial draw with Leeds after a clash with Patrick Bamford.
Yet replays showed that Bamford had thrown himself to the ground, meaning El Ghazi's suspension has been cleared.
Bamford has, however, been hit with a charge for 'successful deception of a match official', and now faces a ban himself.
The FA allege that his role in getting El Ghazi sent off amounts to improper conduct, and he has until 6pm on Wednesday to respond to the charge.
