  • The Premier League has confirmed the match official appointments for this weekend's round of fixtures, with Lewis Smith set to referee a Liverpool league game for the first time.

The article from MSN discusses the appointment of referee Michael Oliver for the upcoming Premier League match between Liverpool and Southampton. This decision comes after a controversial VAR incident in a previous game involving Liverpool, where a goal by Luis Diaz was wrongly disallowed due to a significant human error by the VAR officials. The Premier League has confirmed Oliver's role, alongside assistant referees Stuart Burt and Dan Cook, with John Brooks as the VAR for this match. The choice of Oliver, who is considered one of the top referees in England, might be an attempt to ensure a high standard of officiating following the recent controversy. The article also mentions that this match is crucial for both teams, with Southampton fighting to avoid relegation and Liverpool looking to maintain their push for a top-four finish.
