It's alleged that both clubs failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion, with Arsenal's players surrounding the match official during the 56th minute and Manchester City's doing so during the 42nd and 64th minutes. Both clubs have until Tuesday 21 February to provide their respective responses.
The incident in relation for the Gunners came in the 56th minute when City were incorrectly awarded a penalty after Gabriel Magalhaes brought down Erling Haaland. At the time, the Brazilian was booked and Arsenal stars flocked around Anthony Taylor to contest the decision.
VAR quickly intervened and deemed Haaland was offside in the build-up and thus the spot kick was not awarded
