Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas insists he did nothing wrong after being charged with two counts of improper conduct following allegations he spat at Hull assistant boss Brian Horton after the FA Cup tie at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners were asked by the Football Association to provide their observations after receiving submissions from Hull.

In accordance with the governing body's disciplinary procedures, Fabregas has been given until May 12 to respond, with the matter then likely to be decided by an independent commission.

Fabregas was not playing against Hull because of a knee injury, but insists his actions in celebrating on the pitch after the final whistle were not out of order.

"Eight players were on the pitch as well, so then everyone should be suspended," he said.

The Spain midfielder continues to categorically deny allegations he spat at Hull No2 Brian Horton.

Fabregas said: "If I am suspended for that, my heart and my mind will be relaxed because I have not done anything wrong."
