Referee Mark Clattenburg will soon find out the result of the Football Association's investigation into alleged racial abuse.
The match official has been probed by the FA after Chelsea made a complaint against him following the October 28 loss to Manchester United.
It is believed that Clattenburg, who has been stood down from the last three weekends of Premier League action, used racist remarks towards Blues midfielder John Obi Mikel and he is set to learn his fate next week.
Clattenburg, who again misses this weekend, has strongly denied the allegations but will soon find out what penalty he will receive from the FA if found guilty.
