Anthony Taylor will referee Chelsea's clash with Leeds United at Elland Road on Wednesday evening, May 11, in the Premier League. The 43-year-old has reffed 38 Blues fixtures since his first in 2012 when the west Londoners beat Portsmouth 4-0 in the FA Cup third round.
He has already reffed Chelsea on five occasions this season alone, four of which have been in the Premier League and one, most recently, in the FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace. Taylor has brandished 94 yellow cards to Chelsea players throughout his career, whereby two of which have led to dismissals.
With a catalogue of Blues games under his belt, Taylor has built a reputation among the Chelsea fanbase. His most notable outings have come in the 2020 FA Cup final against Arsenal, against Manchester United in February 2020 and against Tottenham Hotspur in December 2019, among others too.
