Bolton striker Kevin Davies accuses Arsenal's players of screaming when they are tackled in an attempt to "con" referees into awarding free-kicks.
"Sometimes it feels like they are trying to earn you a booking," said Davies, after his side's 1-0 defeat.
"A few of them let out a big scream, which is a bit embarrassing because it is a man's game."
An Arsenal spokesman said Gunners boss Arsene Wenger would be available to comment at Thursday's news conference.
Davies, who upset Wenger with a two-footed tackle on Gunners full-back Gael Clichy in September, added:"Kolo Toure did one, and he is big, strong man. He was screaming 'my leg' which is a bit unnecessary - but they get the free-kicks.
"In my eyes that is cheating the referee, they have conned him, but they are good at that and you just have to get on with the game."
