The incident wasn’t spotted by referee Andre Marriner but Aguero was later charged by the Football Association.
If found guilty, he’ll be slapped with a three-game ban and will miss the Manchester derby on 10 September.
He’ll also be forced to sit out the league fixture with Bournemouth and an EFL Cup clash against Swansea.
The 28-year-old had been given until 5pm today to contest the charge and City lodged their appeal just before the deadline.
