Judging by the appointments I would expect both Oliver and
Taylor to have games
[/quote]
There are 3 CL available matches this week. Barcelona - PSG
(tricky match for both), Porto - Juventus (Oliver won't go
there) and Sevilla - Dortmund.

Why won't Oliver go to Porto-Juve

Because he would then have to go into a quarantine hotel when he
returns to England. Portugal is on the red list.

I assumed that it was a reference to his history with Juventus.

I too suspect it may be more to do with Michael Oliver's role in
a Real Madrid v Juventus game 2 or 3 years ago. He awarded a
penalty and sent off the Juve GK near the end which put RM
through. The general consensus was that both decisions were
justified and Oliver was supported by Collina. He and his wife
Lucy received all sorts of despicable threats subsequently
(referred to in another thread).
As MO is VAR for the West Ham game on Monday, he could only fly
out Tuesday which makes Sevilla-Dortmund the only option being a
Wednesday game.
Taylor on the other hand could in theory do Barcelona - PSG on
Tuesday.

Travel restrictions have prevented some English officials from
taking UEFA appointments this week

That may well be part of the reason, but at the moment no
English referee can go to Portugal as it is on the red zone list
and the government have said that applies even to elite sports.
The same reason why Arsenal's two games against Benfica will be
in Rome and Athens.

What has happened with football these days? Easily a penalty for
Arsenal. They must be watching a different game. Can someone
explain to me why in the world it was overturned??

Similar in the West Brom - United game. Penalty awarded then
cancelled on review.
Personally I'd no problem with the West Brom goal as Lindelof
was far too easily out-muscled. That said, on another day, with
a different referee and VAR, that goal may have been ruled out
given the arm in Lindelof's face. United defenders need to be
stronger
