The Football Association has started gathering information from Arsenal defender Gabriel and Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson following their angry confrontation at the Emirates on Sunday, Sky Sports Newshas been told.
The referee's report from Michael Oliver is also being reviewed following the altercation, which took place after Arsenal were awarded a decisive penalty in Sunday's 3-2 win.
Henderson and Gabriel were both spoken to after the match by referee Oliver, who asked for their observations of the incident in-keeping with the FA and PGMOL protocols. This is the first stage of any potential disciplinary process.
The FA remain tight-lipped on the matter, and have repeated their original statement from Sunday night, which stated they are in discussions with all the match officials, and will "review the details of the incident".
It remains to be seen whether the governing body will open a full-scale investigation into what happened.
Initial enquiries are likely to take several days. In cases such as this, it is normal for the FA to seek eyewitness accounts from all the players - and any club support staff - who were involved in the fracas, or within earshot of what was said.
It is also very likely the FA will employ a lip-reader to work alongside them, as officials review all of the television footage available.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp felt Gabriel Jesus had dived when challenged by Thiago - that led to a mass confrontation involving numerous players, and a vocal stand-off between Henderson and Gabriel.
Bukayo Saka scored from the late penalty to secure victory for the Gunners, who moved back to the top of the Premier League above Manchester City.

Jurgen Klopp after the match yesterday: We tried to show great spirit. They scored twice and we replied twice. That handball against Gabriel wasn't a penalty because he didn't meant to do that so credit to the referee. They showed great resilience and character in which they have been building for years and it's finally paid off. Klopp on Arsenal: I said it that I was scared to play against them but people thought I was playing mind games,now they know I meant it. They were unreal. This is a different Arsenal,I have never seen this type of Arsenal since Wenger left. Credits to Mikel,he has done an incredible job and he is not finished yet. Klopp on Martinelli: I say this and will keep saying it,if he continues like this he will become one of the best players in the world. Not only him but their whole squad. They did and incredible job. I can't remember when last we conceded a goal in the first minute but he proved it was possible. Klopp on his team: Arsenal have beaten us. We are done!Jurgen Klopp after the match yesterday: We tried to show great spirit. They scored twice and we replied twice.
