Match Officials: Michael Oliver to referee Everton vs Manchester City Michael Oliver will referee the Premier League meeting between Everton and Manchester City. City require all three points to retain control of the Premier League title race. Arsenal will be a minimum of three points clear come kick-off at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The Premier League have confirmed the team of match officials to oversee Manchester City’s meeting away at Everton on Monday night. Pep Guardiola’s side simply have to keep on winning in the top-flight to keep the direction of this season’s Premier League title firmly in their own hands , but face a run of hugely challenging affairs between now and the final weekend of the campaign. Off the back of two crucial wins against Arsenal and Burnley to put them top of the division on goals scored, Manchester City could find themselves six points behind the Gunners by the time kick-off arrives on Merseyside.
However, Mikel Arteta’s players will have played two games extra by that stage, perhaps adding additional pressure onto the minds of the Etihad Stadium’s players with far from favourable fixtures on the horizon. Beyond the meeting with European football-chasing Everton on Monday night, City still have to face Brentford, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, and Aston Villa, with the meeting against the Cherries coming immediately after the FA Cup final against Chelsea and away from home.
