Michael Oliver will referee Manchester United clash with Liverpool in one of the biggest games of the Premier League season on Sunday.
Oliver could have his work cut out in what is always a fiery encounter at Old Trafford.
Stuart Burt and Simon Bennett will be working with Oliver as assistant referees while Andre Marriner is appointed as the fourth official.
Oliver, who has been a top-flight ref since 2010, was last in charge of a Liverpool game when they beat Arsenal 5-1 in December.
He was also the referee for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first game in charge of United as they defeated his former club Cardiff City 5-1 the previous weekend.
United fans aren’t pleased to see Oliver given the game after his previous displays involving their side report the MEN .
Congrats lads @LFC

Still think Michael Oliver is the best referee in the league, so to have him on Sunday is a good thing. Hopefully won't get the OT treatment we usually get from officials. https://t.co/PabkRuSktK
