Chelsea have been charged by the Football Association (FA) over alleged discriminatory behaviour by fans during the club's win away at Fulham in August, the BBC reported.
The charge relates to conduct by Chelsea supporters during the match, though the specific nature of the chanting has not been detailed publicly in the initial report.
