David Coote has been replaced by Andre Marriner as the Video Assistant Referee for Liverpool's game against Leicester City on Sunday.
The clash at Anfield would have been his first Liverpool match since his controversial performance in the Merseyside derby where he failed to punish Jordan Pickford for a reckless challenge on Virgil van Dijk, which has likely ruled the Dutchman out for the season.
He will instead be the on-pitch referee for Manchester United's game against West Brom on Saturday evening.
Coote was dropped from officiating duties the week after the incident, but has since been in charge of two Premier League matches and one Championship fixture.
