Kick off: 15:00 Day 6 Emirates Stadium
Arsenal v Wigan Athletic
The Togo striker, who angered Arsenal fans before and after his £25 million move from the North London club this summer, ran the full length of the Eastlands pitch to celebrate in front of the Gunners supporters, leading to violent scenes in the stands.
Adebayor did not contest a charge of violent conduct when he was seen to rake his studs down the face of former team-mate Van Persie earlier in the match, meaning he will miss the Manchester derby on Sunday.
The only recent precedent is when Manchester United defender Gary Neville was fined £5,000 and warned about his future conduct for an incident in 2006 when he celebrated a win over Liverpool in front of opposing fans.
Nottingham Forest striker Nathan Tyson is in similar hot water with the FA for waving a flag at Derby supporters on August 29, but he has admitted the charge and apologised for his actions.
