Chelsea have been charged by the Football Association with failing to control their players for the second time in 15 days.
The new charge relates to their conduct following the sending-off of William Gallas late on in last Sunday's match against Fulham, when a group of players surrounded match referee Mike Dean and assistant Andy Williams.
Dean decided that Fulham's own protest against a Didier Drogba goal which was ultimately disallowed "did not warrant a report to the FA" while Gallas was also warned as to his future conduct in relation to his 'thumbs-down' gesture to Cottagers fans.
The Barclays Premiership champions have until April 7th to respond to the charge, which follows a similar charge relating to the West Brom match on March 4th.
Meanwhile, Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon has dismissed allegations that Shaun Wright-Phillips is a diver.
Wright-Phillips was accused of play-acting to get Newcastle's Robbie Elliott sent off in the last minute of Chelsea's FA Cup quarter-final win at Stamford Bridge.
Alan Shearer and Glenn Roeder both criticised the England international after the game but Kenyon hit back in defence of Wright-Phillips.
Kenyon said: "He's not that type of player in my opinion. He is certainly a fair player and he is not someone who goes to get players sent off. It was an unfortunate comment."
