The Saints boss has received two separate charges over his comments about video assistant referee Mike Dean following the dismissal of Saints captain James Ward-Prowse in the 3-1 defeat at Chelsea before the October international break.

Ward-Prowse was initially booked by referee Martin Atkinson for a late tackle on Jorginho but the yellow card was upgraded to a red after Dean told his colleague to review the incident on his monitor.

An FA statement read: "It is alleged that comments made by the manager during two post-match interviews constitute improper conduct in that they questioned the integrity of the VAR match official and/or implied bias and/or bring the game into disrepute."
