Anthony Taylor will not referee any Premier League games this weekend following a record 14 yellow cards issued during Chelsea's 1-0 victory over Bournemouth. Taylor has faced significant online abuse, including death threats, prompting the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) to offer him support and launch an investigation. Despite this, Taylor will serve as a fourth official in matches involving Southampton vs. Ipswich Town and Brighton vs. Nottingham Forest. The match saw fines of £25,000 for both clubs due to the high number of bookings. Taylor has called for more empathy towards referees, reflecting on similar past incidents of fan hostility. Bournemouth captain Adam Smith criticized Taylor's refereeing as 'mental', expressing frustration over his and his team's bookings.
