Premier League confirm huge Arsenal vs Man City referee decision after Liverpool VAR disaster

The Premier League have confirmed the referee who will be in charge of the marquee clash between Manchester City and Arsenal this weekend. Talk surrounding officials has dominated the headlines over the last seven days after Luis Diaz wrongfully saw his goal for Liverpool against Tottenham ruled out for offside.

Darren England, who was head of VAR for the game, was under the impression the goal had been given and therefore, upon seeing Diaz was clearly onside, said 'check complete' which meant the initial decision was upheld.

In the wake of the controversy, the PGMOL and Liverpool have both released statements with Jurgen Klopp calling for a reply after the audio from the VAR room was released publicly earlier this week. «As far as I can remember, something like that never happened, that's why I think a replay should be played,» he said in a press conference on Wednesday. «They didn't do it on purpose and we shouldn't forget that. Yes, it was a mistake. An obvious mistake. I think there would have been solutions. I think the outcome should be a replay. Probably won't happen.»

With significant scrutiny surrounding officials at the moment, and therefore supporters interested in seeing who will be appointed to be in charge of their upcoming games, a big decision has been confirmed with the Premier League revealing that Michael Oliver will referee the biggest clash of the weekend which sees Arsenal take on Man City at Emirates Stadium.
