		</div><p>Sergio Aguero has been banned for four matches, as expected, by the Football Association following his weekend dismissal which prompted a fractious finale to Manchester City&#8217;s loss to Chelsea.</p>
<p>City striker Aguero was shown a straight red card for a reckless challenge on Chelsea defender David Luiz, which led to a bench-clearing melee at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.</p>
<p>Fernandinho was also sent off for shoving Cesc Fabregas during the incident, with City&#8217;s Brazilian midfielder banned for three matches, as indicated on the disciplinary pages of the FA website.</p>
<p>Premier League leaders Chelsea won the game 3-1 for an eighth successive victory, but both clubs can anticipate FA disciplinary action for a failure to control their players.</p>
<p>Fabregas&#8217; role in Fernandinho&#8217;s dismissal could also be scrutinised after it appeared he struck the City man in the face, prompting the Brazil international&#8217;s furious reaction.</p>
<p>Aguero&#8217;s offence was effectively his second dismissal of the season after he served a three-match ban for violent conduct, issued retrospectively after he was adjudged to have elbowed West Ham&#8217;s Winston Reid in August.</p>
<p>The Argentina striker will miss City&#8217;s matches with Leicester, Watford, Arsenal and Hull this month. Fernandinho will be available for the Hull game on Boxing Day.</p>
<p>City defender Nicolas Otamendi, meanwhile, received his fifth booking of the season on Saturday to prompt an automatic one-match suspension, so Pep Guardiola will be without three players for Saturday&#8217;s trip to Leicester.</p>
<p>The two red cards against Chelsea took City&#8217;s number of on-field dismissals to five in the early months of Guardiola&#8217;s reign.</p>
<p>Fernandinho and goalkeeper Claudio Bravo were sent off in Champions League action, while Nolito was handed his marching orders in September&#8217;s win over Bournemouth.</p>
