The European champions escaped with a point after playing the dying embers of the first half and the entirety of the second half with ten men following Reece James’s dismissal moments before half-time.
Kai Havertz’s opener was cancelled out by Mohamed Salah’s penalty, with the game ending 1-1.
Referee Anthony Taylor penalized James for a handball incident on the goal line following a VAR review just before half time.
Chelsea’s players protested Taylor’s decision but took their remonstrations too far which earned Antonio Rudiger and goalkeeper Edouard Mendy yellow cards. A little fracas also broke out among both sets of players after Salah’s penalty when Mendy kicked the ball into Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson.
A statement from the FA read: "Chelsea FC has been charged with two breaches of FA Rule E20.1 following their Premier League fixture against Liverpool FC on Saturday [28/08/21].
"It is alleged that Chelsea FC failed to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during the 48th minute of the first half and following the half-time whistle.
"Chelsea FC has until Friday [03/09/21] to provide a response to this charge."
