Everton could face a second FA charge in a week following a mass brawl against Leeds United.
Twenty one players were involved as chaos erupted in front of the away supporters near the end of the first half at Goodison Park. The incident concluded with each side receiving two bookings.
The scale of the incident is likely to lead to scrutiny from the Football Association, which charged the Blues over a similar altercation at Anfield on Monday.

Abdoulaye Doucoure and Dwight McNeil were shown yellow cards by referee Andy Madley after trouble broke out with the game heading towards half-time. It started with McNeil and Tyler Adams hustling eachother for the ball but quickly escalated into an incident that dragged in players from both sides - including both goalkeepers. Adams and Weston McKennie received bookings for Leeds. The match retained its edge for the rest of the game, with heated arguments breaking out at both half-time and full-time.
The incident was similar to the 86th minute fracas that led to both Everton and Liverpool being charged with an allegation of failing to control their players. That melee started with Jordan Pickford and Andy Robertson, who were both later booked, and drew in a host of players including substitutes.
The FA later released a statement that said: "Liverpool and Everton have been charged following a mass confrontation during the 86th minute of their Premier League match on Monday 13 February. It is alleged that both clubs failed to ensure their players and/or benches conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from provocative behaviour."
Everton, and Liverpool, were both given until Monday to respond to the allegation and following the scenes at Goodison Park on Saturday the Blues could be subject to another probe. Everton were fined £20,000 by the FA after being charged with "failing to ensure that their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion" during the Premier League game at home to Crystal Palace in October.
