The referees' union says it is "offering full support" to Mark Clattenburg in relation to allegations made against him.
Chelsea have made a formal complaint against the referee after accusing him of using "inappropriate language" towards two of their players during a controversial defeat to Manchester United.
The European champions confirmed they have reported the official to the Premier League match delegate following the London team's 3-2 loss at Stamford Bridge.
That complaint is set to be passed on to the Football Association (FA).
It is understood Jon Obi Mikel is one of the two players Chelsea believe "inappropriate language" was directed at.
Mr Clattenburg pictured during the fiery clash at Stamford Bridge A club spokesman said: "We have lodged a complaint to the Premier League match delegate with regards to inappropriate language used by the referee and directed at two of our players in two separate incidents in today's (Sunday's) match.
"The match delegate will pass the complaint to the Football Association. We will make no further comment at this time."
Mr Clattenburg, 37, has vowed to co-operate with any investigation.
Prospect, the union representing football referees, said it had given its full support to Mr Clattenburg.
"Prospect is committed to helping to eradicate racism in football and in society generally," said national secretary Alan Leighton.
"In the context of that commitment, Prospect is offering full support to Mark Clattenburg in relation to the allegations made against him. It is now important that the allegations are fully investigated through the proper process as quickly as possible."
The hotly-anticipated match between two of the Premier League's top three sides was eventful.
Chelsea had two players controversially sent off, including striker Fernando Torres who was dismissed for a second yellow card after allegedly diving.
Meanwhile, Manchester United were allowed a winning goal that some thought was offside.
All of the referee's conversations during the game would have been audible to his two assistants Michael McDonough and Simon Long as well as the fourth official Michael Jones, who are all connected by audio headsets. However, the audio itself is not recorded.
Mr Clattenburg is regarded by Fifa - the sport's world governing body - as one of the top officials in the game.
At the Olympics, he was chosen to referee the final between Brazil and Mexico, and he is expected to be put forward to be part of the English representation at the 2014 World Cup.
