Arsenal have received two charges from the FA this season after failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion on the football pitch. The Gunners were alleged to breach of FA Rule E20.1 during their FA Cup third round tie against Oxford and Premier League clash against Newcastle.
Mikel Arteta has been criticised for his touchline behaviour this season but is yet to be charged for his conduct despite cutting an emotional and erratic figure in his technical box at times. The Arsenal boss was involved in a brief incident with Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne as the reigning champions picked up a 3-1 win against the north Londoners to move top of the Premier League table.
The Gunners are now without a win in their last four matches in all competitions as they find themselves behind City on goal difference. During the clash at the Emirates Stadium many noticed Pep Guardiola's players surrounding referee Anthony Taylor on a number of occasions, particularly following Ederson's foul on Eddie Nketiah that resulted in Bukayo Saka scoring from the penalty spot.
