A Premier League weekend rarely passes by without a controversial call by the officials on the pitch or in the VAR room.
The 2024/25 season is unlikely to be any different as the greatest league in the world takes centre stage once again.
A London derby between Tottenham and West Ham gets us back underway following the second international break of the season and Saturday also sees Arsenal travel to Bournemouth in the evening kick off.
Manchester City are at struggling Wolves in Sunday’s early clash, Liverpool host Chelsea in the twilight fixture, while Crystal Palace’s trip to Nottingham Forest is the Monday night game.
After the standard of officiating came under constant criticism last season, a question every fan wants to know is which referee will be in charge of each game. Well don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
You can find all the Premier League odds on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise below is the full list of referee appointments for matchday eight.
