Jesse Marsch makes clear Thomas Tuchel red card claim ahead of Leeds United vs Chelsea

Leeds manager Jesse Marsch has admitted that he would be 'disappointed' if Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is allowed on the touchline for the Premier League fixture between the two sides this weekend.

Tuchel was sent off after multiple altercations with Tottenham manager Antonio Conte on the touchline during the London derby last weekend, with referee Anthony Taylor showing both a red card at the full-time whistle. Tuchel said he was upset after the game that VAR did not intervene in incidents involving Kai Havertz, Marc Cucurella and Richarlison.

"If the mistake is that big and that obvious, what is the point of not admitting when the whole world sees it," the German said in his pre-match press conference on Friday regarding Mike Dean's decisions, which have since been explained in a separate interview from the retired referee himself. Tuchel and Conte were both charged by the FA for alleged "improper behaviour" after the match.
