Premier League referee Anthony Taylor has been officially appointed to officiate Chelsea's league encounter against West Ham United this weekend, a decision that has sparked strong reactions among Chelsea supporters.
Softfootball gathered, Many fans believe that whenever Chelsea appear close to building an unbeaten run, Anthony Taylor is often assigned to their matches, a pattern they feel rarely works in the club's favour. Supporters have raised concerns about Taylor's card distribution, arguing that his officiating style could significantly influence the outcome of what is expected to be a tense fixture.
West Ham currently find themselves battling relegation, which adds another layer of difficulty to the match. Chelsea fans fear that the pressure on the visitors to secure points could lead to a physical contest, increasing the risk of strict officiating decisions.
