Mike Dean, England's referee threatened with death after controversial decisions, will return to the Premier League lawns on Saturday after asking not to officiate last weekend.
Dean, who has refereed in the first division since 2000, will lead the meeting between Burney and West Bromwich on Saturday, counting for the 25th day of the championship.
He had been threatened on social media after excluding Southampton defender Jan Bednarek, against Manchester United on February 2, then West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek in the match at Fulham on February 6.
The red cards were released after viewing VAR footage from the pitch and both have since been overturned on appeal.
Dean had received support from Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), the body which trains and selects referees in England, and Premier League chief executive Richard Masters, who denounced the "inexcusable" facts and called the giants of social networks to intervene more against online threats.
He had asked to be excused from his duties last weekend
The 52-year-old official asked to be relieved of his duties last weekend, but he has already resumed Wednesday, refereeing the match of the 5th round of the FA Cup between Leicester and Brighton (1-0).
Premier League coaches have also backed Mike Dean, Tottenham manager José Mourinho, saying "something needs to be done" against online insults aimed at referees.
For Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder, Dean is "a respectable referee and an honest man" and the actions targeting him are "cowardly, disgusting and inhumane".
Even Tomas Soucek gave him his support, despite his exclusion on February 6.
“No matter what decisions are made on the pitch, they have to stay on the pitch,” the Czech midfielder tweeted.
I don't like to hear it interferes with privacy and I support Mike Dean and his family.
There is no room for such behavior. ”
