They may fancy their chances against a fragile-looking visiting side, although Maresca has been under some pressure lately with Chelsea sitting eighth in the Premier League standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taylor, who has been a Select Group Referee since 2010, has taken charge of more Liverpool matches than any other Premier League referee, and the Reds, in turn, are Taylor\u2019s most officiated club, with Chelsea joint-second on the same list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Anthony Taylor\u2019s
