Chelsea supporters will breathe a sigh of relief after Stuart Attwell was appointed as referee for this weekend's game at Elland Road. Leeds United will host Thomas Tuchel's side this weekend without the German on the touchline after last weekend's controversy in Chelsea's game with Tottenham Hotspur.
Mike Dean has not been allocated a VAR game for the third week of fixtures, but Anthony Taylor will take charge of West Ham vs Brighton. The pair came under severe criticism for their decisions on Kai Havertz, Marc Cucurella and Richarlison - with three decisions going against Chelsea allowing Tottenham to grab a late equaliser.
The on-field decisions led to a bust-up on the sidelines between Antonio Conte and Tuchel, with the FA deeming the pair to have breached E3 of their code. Tuchel's anger later spilled over into his press conference.

Speaking to Football London he said: "Today? Absolutely," he replied when asked about Taylor's performance. “I don’t think just some of the fans think that.
"I can assure you the whole dressing room of us, every single person, thinks that. I can’t understand how the first goal is not offside and I can’t understand when a player is pulled by their hair, the other player stays on the pitch.
"Pull someone else’s hair, stay on the pitch and attack the last corner. This is for me without any explanation and I don’t want to accept it. Both goals should not stand and it’s a fair result because we were brilliant, deserved to win. This is my point of view.”
Attwell will take charge of the game against the Whites, who has handed out 33 yellow cards in 18 games - including one red card for a second bookable offence.
