The Premier League has announced that Anthony Taylor will officiate the upcoming match between Manchester City and Liverpool this Sunday.

Arne Slot's team is set to face Pep Guardiola's side with a win potentially putting them 13 points ahead of their rivals Arsenal if results go their way in the meantime.

Liverpool is gearing up for a hectic week, starting with a trip to Aston Villa on Wednesday.



Manchester City will have even less preparation time as it is engaged in Champions League play-off duties in Madrid.

A win at Villa would put the Reds 10 points clear of Arsenal, who are currently in second place, albeit having played an extra game.

Despite Guardiola's team not performing as strongly this season compared to their previous dominance, this remains the most anticipated match of the weekend, hence PGMOL have assigned their most seasoned official to oversee it.

Taylor, hailing from Wythenshawe, Greater Manchester, is set to officiate his 394th English top-flight match when Liverpool face their rivals on Sunday.

The 46-year-old has refereed four of the club's previous matches this season, including the 3-0 away victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford last September and the 2-2 draw at Arsenal in October.
