Premier League referees this weekend: Appointments for gameweek 12

Who's in the middle?

Premier League referee Michael Oliver blows a whistle

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.

After an interesting international break, to say the least, there will be plenty of eyes on Portman Road as Ruben Amorin takes charge of Manchester United for the first time and Anthony Taylor will oversee proceedings against Ipswich.

John Brooks is given the whistle for this weekend’s biggest game as Manchester City welcome Tottenham to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening.

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.
