West Brom manager Tony Pulis has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association, this comes as Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was given a one-match stadium ban with immediate effect and fined £40,000 by the Football Association.
Mourinho's punishment relates to a misconduct charge over his language and behaviour in a defeat by West Ham on 24 October.
Mourinho was sent to the stands after going to speak to referee Jon Moss in his room at half-time.
The FA said Mourinho admitted the charge to an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing on Monday.
This ban is separate to his suspended stadium ban given for his comments about the referee after the defeat against Southampton on 3 October. This is still being appealed by the Portuguese boss.
However, Tony Pulis' charge relates to an incident in the tunnel area after Pulis's side were beaten 3-2 by Leicester on Saturday.
Pulis admitted he had a "bit of a go" at referee Anthony Taylor over two failed penalty appeals.
The 57-year-old is alleged to have "used language and/or behaviour in or around the tunnel area which amounts to improper conduct".
He has until 18:00 GMT on Thursday to respond to the charge.
Pulis was angry at his side not getting penalties for challenges on Jonny Evans and Darren Fletcher during the Premier League match at The Hawthorns.
"I've had a little bit of a go in the tunnel with him. I apologised for doing that," said Pulis.
The Baggies boss added that he would speak to referees' chief Mike Riley about Taylor's decisions in the game.
