The Premier League have confirmed their refereeing appointments for Arsenal and Manchester City’s final fixtures of the current campaign.

With the Premier League’s final day just days away, Arsenal and Manchester City have learned who will referee their last games of the season.

Arsenal will be refereed against Everton by Michael Oliver, assisted by Stuart Burt and Dan Cook. Josh Smith will be the fourth official, whilst Stuart Attwell will be on VAR, assisted by Nick Greenhalgh.

As for Manchester City’s match against West Ham, John Brooks will referee, with Lee Betts and Akil Howson assisting. Sam Allison will be the fourth official, with Jarred Gillett on VAR assisted by Tim Wood.

Michael Oliver is arguably one of the league’s best referees, so it’s no real surprise he’s been given one of the title-race matches.

Oliver most recently refereed Arsenal in their win over Tottenham Hotspur in April, one of five Gunners games he’s taken this season, and one of 57 Arsenal fixtures over the course of his career.

By contrast, Brooks isn’t quite so experienced, only refereeing Manchester City on seven previous occasions.

If you’re looking for a good omen, Brooks refereed City’s defeat to Aston Villa in December, and the Brentford defeat on the final day of 2022/23. But on the other hand, he’s since refereed three City wins, awarding them two penalties.

With all 10 Premier League matches taking place simultaneously on Sunday at 16:00 BST, the VAR hub at Stockley Park will be set for a very busy afternoon.
