Premier League make fresh Anthony Taylor decision as Chelsea petition hits over 159,000 signatures.

The Premier League have confirmed that Anthony Taylor will be in refereeing action over the next two matchweeks - but he will not officiate Chelsea after Thomas Tuchel was charged for comments he made about the referee as per Mirror Football.

Recall, the Chelsea gaffer had asked that Anthony Taylor be stopped from refereeing Chelsea games in his post match briefing vs Tottenham:

"I don’t think just some of the fans think that. I can assure you the whole dressing room, every single person, thinks that," Tuchel had replied.

Similarly, Mike Dean will have no involvement in the Blues' home game against Leicester on Saturday and trip to Southampton next Tuesday. Taylor and Dean are two names that cause much anger and frustration in the Blues fanbase following incidents in the dramatic 2-2 draw with Tottenham on August 14.

Paul Tierney will be the man in the middle for Chelsea's game against Leicester, with David Coote as the fourth official and Andre Marriner on VAR duty. Meanwhile, Michael Oliver is set to referee the Blues' clash with Saints, as Graham Scott takes the reins as the fourth official and Michael Salisbury is on VAR.

Dean, who was completely left out of last weekend's matches, is on VAR for Leeds' trip to Brighton on Saturday, while Taylor is the fourth official for Southampton's home game against Manchester United on Saturday and West Ham 's trip to Aston Villa the following day. Taylor will return as the referee for Bournemouth's clash with Wolves on August 31, with Dean the fourth official for Nottingham Forest's trip to Manchester City on the same night.

Moving on, the petition to stop Anthony Taylor from handling Chelsea games has hit over 159,000 signatures. The petition was initiated by bitter Chelsea fans after Chelsea's first home game against Tottenham.

The petition has no doubt been of immense benefits as Taylor will not be officiating any Chelsea game soon.

Graham Potter has succeeded in these three areas where Tuchel failed.

OPINION: Graham Potter has succeeded in these three areas where Tuchel failed. The Blues were back in Premier League action on Saturday, and had sealed a 3-0 victory over Wolves at the Bridge. The game had seen goals come from the Blues' attacking options, something which had rarely been seen in the Tuchel era. Not just that, there were noticeable changes and improvement in team set up that were not seen under the former German Boss. All of which will be highlighted below. Firstly, the handing of debut to Chelsea's signing, Carney Chukwuemeka. Graham Potter's choice to hand one of his starlets a debut demonstrates the trust that he has in the young players at Stamford Bridge that can help him through a tricky run. It's harder than it seems to just trust the youth though. Tuchel struggled to fully implement the pathway desired and was always focused on the here and now, the short term. He felt warmth with experience. Potter already looks to have brough...
