The Manchester City vs Arsenal referee has been announced as Michael Oliver – which has raised deep concern amongst Gunners supporters.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunday’s highly-anticipated epic at the Etihad Stadium is already being built up as a potential title decider. Despite it being just the fifth game of the 2024\/25 Premier League<\/a> campaign.<\/p>\n

Last season, Mikel Arteta’s side took four points off the Cityzens without conceding a goal. However, it was Pep Guardiola’s side who went on to win the league.<\/p>\n

Not only will the red half of north London be aiming to claim precious points once again, they will want to see a solid and professional refereeing display.<\/p>\n

Assisting Oliver will be Stuart Burt and Dan Cook. Fourth official duties fall to Andy Madley with John Brooks and Richard West on VAR.<\/p>\n
