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.
Anthony Taylor is given the whistle for the big game on the weekend slate as Manchester City welcome Liverpool to the Etihad Stadium.
Meanwhile, Michael Oliver takes charge of proceedings at Villa Park as Aston Villa and Chelsea kick off the last round of action on Saturday.
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.
