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 the big game on the midweek slate as Liverpool welcome Newcastle to Anfield.
Meanwhile, Jarred Gillett takes charge of proceedings at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Spurs and Manchester City face off.
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.
