Bolton Wanderers have confirmed that they will contest the improper conduct charge handed out to defender Tal Ben-Haim following his Boxing Day showdown with Manchester United's Wayne Rooney.

Ben-Haim was charged with the offence yesterday evening and the club has until January 20th to contest the decision. Wanderers are now fighting to get the charges overturned.

United's Rooney on the other hand has until tommorow to answer his charges and could face a possible three game ban.
