No referee has officiated more matches. Taylor has overseen matches for both of these sides this season, and he isn&#8217;t a favourite among their fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taylor was the referee for both the 2016-17 and 2019-20 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/fa-cup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FA Cup<\/a> finals between these sides, with Arsenal winning both 2-1. Chelsea ended both matches with 10 men, both filled with controversy. Mateo Kovacic received his second yellow card in the 2019-20 final for a foul on Granit Xhaka, which replays showing it was the Croatian who was actually fouled. And in 2016-17, Alexis Sanchez opened the scoring for Arsenal despite claims of handball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arsenal go into this game top of the league, six points clear of sixth-placed Chelsea. And both sides are on decent unbeaten runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Jump to:<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-anthony-taylor-s-chelsea-record\" data-level=\"2\">Anthony Taylor&#8217;s Chelsea record<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-anthony-taylor-s-arsenal-record\" data-level=\"2\">Anthony Taylor&#8217;s Arsenal record<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-what-should-we-expect-from-anthony-taylor\" data-level=\"2\">What should we expect from Anthony Taylor?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-anthony-taylor-s-chelsea-record\">Anthony Taylor&#8217;s Chelsea record<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Taylor has refereed 56 Chelsea matches to date, only officiating Liverpool (68) more. Chelsea fans are not overly fond of Taylor, feeling he referees them unfairly. Taylor has shown Chelsea 128 yellow cards, more than he has any other side. He has also sent off three Chelsea players, including two in the aforementioned FA Cup finals. Taylor broke the record for most yellow cards in a single game last season, in a match involving Chelsea. The Blues have won their past five games with Taylor as referee, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Category<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Total<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Matches<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">56<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Wins<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">29<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Draws<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">14<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Defeats<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">13<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">League points<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">86<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Penalties per game<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0.18<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Yellow cards per game<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2.29<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Red cards per game<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0.05<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-happened-when-anthony-taylor-last-refereed-chelsea\">What happened when Anthony Taylor last refereed Chelsea?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Taylor was the man in the middle for Chelsea&#8217;s 2-1 win over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/liverpool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Liverpool<\/a> earlier this season.
