An independent regulatory commission will hear the case, which is expected to be completed by the end of the week.
West Brom’s French striker faces a minimum five-match ban under the Football Association’s new anti-discrimination rules if found guilty.
Anelka, 34, has been charged by the FA with performing an alleged anti-Semitic gesture during his club’s match against West Ham in December.
He has denied that the salute was anti-Semitic and requested a personal hearing.
