incidents that occurred in Saturday's eventful 2-1 defeat at London rivals West Ham
United.
An FA spokesman said on Monday that the automatic fine would be implemented
because six players received a yellow card in the Premier League game. One of them,
Nemanja Matic, was sent off, making seven cautions in all.
That incident upset coach Silvino Louro and manager Jose Mourinho who were both
sent to the stands.
The FA await referee Jon Moss' report before deciding on further punishment but it
would not necessarily trigger the suspended stadium ban that Mourinho faces after
criticising another official following Chelsea's home defeat by Southampton this month.
The Premier League will also write to Chelsea about a possible breach of the regulation
that clubs must fulfil media obligations after a game.
Neither Mourinho nor any of his coaches attended the traditional post-match news
conference at West Ham.
The normal sanction is a warning or a fine although the Premier League said that is
often not made public.
Chelsea have no planned news conference before Tuesday's League Cup match at
Stoke City.
