Prominent Premier League referee Anthony Taylor will take charge of Chelsea's game against Manchester City on Sunday - despite awarding another questionable penalty last Saturday against Coventry City.

Taylor was demoted to the Championship after giving Newcastle a spot kick in their 2-2 draw against Wolves at Molineux last month. The Premier League 's Independent Key Match Incidents Panel reviewed the decision and deemed it to be incorrect.

Taylor was promptly demoted and put in charge of the game between Preston and the Sky Blues on Saturday as punishment for his blunder. The FIFA-listed referee was embroiled in controversy again after giving a soft penalty to Preston, after Kyle McFadzean was deemed to have dragged striker Milutin Osmajic down in the box, allowing Alan Browne to put the Lilywhites 2-1 up in the game which ended in a 3-2 defeat for City at Deepdale.

Replays show that McFadzean barely touched Osmajic yet PGMOL, the body in charge of refereeing, are happy with Taylor's performance and have promoted him back to the Premier League for Sunday's game at Stamford Bridge. Jarred Gillett has also been confirmed as the video assistant referee (VAR).

Taylor is one of the Premier League's most recognisable referees after taking charge of some of the biggest games in football. His CV includes the League Cup final, the Europa League final, the Championship play-off final and two FA Cup finals.

Yet Taylor was ordered to referee the game between Preston and Coventry after his mistake. Wolves boss Gary O'Neil joked about Taylor's demotion ahead of his team's game against Sheffield United last Saturday. Ironically, there was another questionable refereeing decision made against Wolves in their 2-1 loss at Bramall Lane.

Premier League referee Anthony Taylor took charge of the Preston v Coventry game after being demoted for a controversial penalty decision O'Neil said before last Saturday's game: "I think Anthony Taylor's doing the Championship game this weekend - that's three referees who've been relegated on the back of refereeing us, so you need to be careful when you referee Wolves because you could end up getting relegated the following week!"

Although Taylor has faced more criticism for giving Preston a penalty, Coventry boss Mark Robins didn't complain about his performance after last Saturday's game. Robins said: "Fadz then ended up pulling him down... we've not done enough in the first half, and then we conceded a poor goal in the second half, which puts it on the backfoot had we not done that, I think we go and win the game."
