Referees for crucial Liverpool v Chelsea clash revealed

Liverpool will play Chelsea on January 2nd in what has already become an extremely important game in the season for both teams.

With Man City having pulled ahead by 8 points at the moment, the loser of this game could fall behind the league leaders by double digits.

The referees for this game have been revealed and Anthony Taylor will be taking charge of the game while Paul Tierney is on VAR.

This isn't the best news for Reds fans, with both referees having officiated Reds games very poorly in 2021.

Jurgen Klopp has suggested Tierney may have a problem with him while Anthony Taylor was called into question by fans earlier in the year for his terrible decisions against Man United.

Obviously, this will not be an excuse for the Reds who should be looking to beat an injury-ridden Chelsea team regardless, but every decision in that game will now likely come under scrutiny.
