Eight people were arrested following incidents at Sunday's north London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal's Mesut Ozil was reportedly hit with a missile from the crowd and toilets at the stadium were damaged, with pictures posted on social media.
That followed on from a Capital One Cup fixture between the pair last month that saw Arsenal supporters pulling advertising hoardings off the stands at White Hart Lane.
A Metropolitan Police statement read: "A total of eight arrests were made at the Arsenal versus Tottenham Hotspur game on Sunday, 8 November at the Emirates Stadium.
"The arrests were for public order offences, missile throwing, possession of drugs and assault. Six of those arrested have been charged."
Arsenal confirmed they are "working closely with Tottenham and the police to try to identify the culprits."
The FA, meanwhile, has confirmed that authorities, including the police, will work with the clubs to identify the individuals responsible.
