The Football Association will reportedly consider this week whether to charge Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho after he was sent to the stands at Villa Park on Saturday.
The Portuguese coach criticised referee Chris Foy after he was given his marching orders for walking onto the pitch during the Blues' 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa.
In the 82nd minute, Fabian Delph scored the only goal of the game, which included red cards for Chelsea duo Willian and Ramires.
The FA will now examine Foy's match report before deciding whether to open disciplinary proceedings against Mourinho, according to the Herald Scotland.
Chelsea remain at the top of the Premier League table, but their lead has been reduced to four points after both Liverpool and Arsenal won yesterday.
