The clash at the King Power last month was on matchday 23 of the current season.

But Dean has not been appointed for a top-flight game since.

And he has been snubbed yet again in the latest list of Premier League officials selected for matches this weekend.

SunSport understands Dean’s continuing absence has been a selection decision by Webb.

Dean posted an image of the programme from the League Two fixture between Newport and AFC Wimbledon on his Instagram story on Tuesday night.

The Wirral whistler retired as a referee at the end of last season following 22 years of on-field duties in the Premier League.

Dean is no stranger to a weekend off duty, though.

In October, the ref headed to Spain for a bit of R&R after being given a match break.

Dean hilariously shared an image of a fully-stocked beer fridge on Insta – as well as a few snaps of him golfing.
