Anthony Taylor has been appointed as the main referee for Chelsea’s crucial clash with Nottingham Forest on the final day of the Premier League season. Peter Bankes will be in charge of the VAR, ensuring that controversial plays are monitored in a match of maximum tension.
Chelsea are currently fifth in the table with 66 points, the same as Newcastle and Aston Villa, while Nottingham Forest are seventh with 65, both with a chance of reaching the next Champions League. The Blues have won their last three Premier League matches that were officiated by Anthony Taylor.
The clash is set to be a final for both teams, who are looking to secure their place in Europe’s top competition. In addition, fourth-placed Aston Villa host an inconsistent Manchester United side, adding further excitement to the battle for European places.
The appointment of Taylor, one of the league’s most experienced referees, provides a guarantee of impartiality and rigour in a high-voltage encounter. Both Chelsea and Forest go into the game knowing the importance of every point at stake.
