and live on Freeview channel 276
An FA disciplinary panel upheld the red card shown to Barkhuizen by referee Matt Donohue for a challenge on Potters defender Morgan Fox, dismissing that element of the appeal.
However, a one-match suspension was given instead of the usual three games, with the panel accepting the winger was worthy of a lesser punishment.

North End had submitted video footage of the incident to the FA hearing which was held on Tuesday afternoon.
Their case was that Barkhuizen had slipped as he chased a loose ball in the 22nd minute of Saturday's game, the momentum from that slip taking him sliding into Fox.
They submitted that there had been no intent on his part to injure Fox.
