Premier League referees this weekend: Appointments for gameweek 13

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.

Chris Kavanagh is given the whistle for Sunday’s ding-dong clash at Anfield as Premier League leaders Liverpool host reigning champions Manchester City, who are bidding to arrest their dire run of form.

Meanwhile, Anthony Taylor takes charge of proceedings at the London Stadium when West Ham face Arsenal in Saturday evening’s capital derby.

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 13.
