The club confirmed in a statement on Thursday, Babel had accepted the charge but had also requested a personal hearing with the Football Association.
The hearing is set to take place on Monday January 17.
Babel sparked controversy after posting a mocked-up picture of Webb in a Manchester United shirt after Liverpool’s 1-0 defeat in the FA Cup third round at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Earlier this week, Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish defended the Dutch international , describing Babel’s comments as ‘a bit of fun’.
‘Maybe I’ve been out of the game too long but let’s see if they can find a sense of humour. He apologised straight away,’ the Anfield legend said.
What do you think, was Babel out of line in posting the Twitter picture?
