Chelsea fans don’t love it when Anthony Taylor is appointed to officiate their matches. After Taylor’s decision to send Reece James off against Liverpool, some fans started a petition to stop the referee from being appointed to officiate any Chelsea game, but clearly that did not work.

In a West London derby on Saturday, Chelsea will face Brentford away from home and that seems to be a very tricky fixture especially after the International break. The Blues will be missing some of their stars against Brentford, but what some Chelsea fans will be more interested in is if Anthony Taylor will make another controversial decision against them.

The Stats below will help To Understand the grief of Chelsea fans :

No side has won more when refereed by Anthony Taylor than Manchester United. Manchester United have won 25 out of 35 matches, and that is a 71% win ratio. Anthony Taylor was born in Manchester.

Chelsea have the lowest win rate of any club under Anthony Taylor. The Stamford Bridge side have won just 18 out of 38 matches, a miserable 47% win ratio, the lowest of all the “big six” clubs.

Chelsea have received a whopping 87 bookings to their name whenever Taylor refereed, 17 more bookings than any other club when refereed by Anthony Taylor.

From  Victor Moses’s controversial red card at the final of the 2017 FA Cup, to the red card Mateo Kovacic also received in the final of the 2020 FA Cup. With Harry Maguire`s horrible stamp on Mitchy Batshuayi last year, and the most recent Reece James’s sending off against Liverpool it is clear Anthony Taylor’s relationship with Chelsea is very toxic and it could prove costly for “The Blues” again today.
