The FA have rejected Liverpool's appeal against Philipp Degen's sending off against Fulham.

The Switzerland international will have to serve a three-match ban, missing the Merseyside derby against Everton on November 29 as well as the forthcoming Barclays Premier League matches against Birmingham and Manchester City.

An FA regulatory commission hearing disagreed with Liverpool's claim that Degan was wrongfully shown the red card for his high tackle on Clint Dempsey during the Reds' 3-1 defeat at Craven Cottage.
