Mark Clattenburg will not referee Premier League match this weekend as outcome into racism row looms The Premier League has announced its list of match officials for the coming fixtures and for the third weekend running Clattenburg is omitted. The Football Association are investigating allegations from Chelsea that the 37 year-old official used a term understood to have been interpreted as racist towards John Obi Mikel during the Premier League match against Manchester United on Oct 28. The Gosforth referee will be the last person to be interviewed by the FA, which is keen to come to a conclusion as to whether he should face charges arising from the allegations. Chelsea remain committed to pursing the case and continue to back Mikel and his allegation, understood to be a claim that Clattenburg used the word "monkey" in an exchange after the Nigerian received a yellow card. The other officials involved in Chelsea's defeat to Manchester United, fourth official Mike Jones and assistant referees Mike McDonough and Simon Long, were all expected to be interviewed by the FA.
