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 has not been any different as the greatest league in the world takes centre stage.
Anthony Taylor is given the whistle for the big game on the midweek slate as Manchester United welcome Arsenal to Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, Michael Salisbury takes charge of proceedings at the London Hotspur Stadium as West Ham and Newcastle 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.
