So Anthony Taylor gets demoted for a Championship game last weekend after a big error in the PL the week before, makes another mistake in a Championship game, and now is given a huge game back in the PL this weekend.

I really don’t understand how this makes sense at all.

If he was eased back into the PL after at least a month, it would be understandable.

To be clear, though he has made so many mistakes, I’m not saying that he has to lose his job or referee the championship for the remainder of his career. But surely bringing him back so soon is a mistake?

Especially in a match where Chelsea is playing - he’s known for making terrible decisions against them for years, and now the PL throws him back into a game of such magnitude?

It doesn’t make sense for the PL and Anthony Taylor. I’m sure that he will feel the pressure come Sunday.

    So would it be ok if he managed Villa vs Fulham, or Palace vs Everton??

    What makes Chelsea vs Man City so special, are their matches more special or more sacred than the rest of us rabble? Ffs

    What do you mean “eased back”, like managing the last 10 minutes of a match one week, a half the next week, then maybe a full 90 minutes after that? Or are you just saying that the smaller teams don’t matter?

      Sky TV think it’s more significant, that’s why that game is on tv and Villa v Fulham isn’t. If you’re wondering why, it’s likely because it will generate higher ratings. So it’s not just Sky that think it’s more significant, the audience do to.
