We’ve just had another enthralling weekend of Premier League action that was once again not without it’s controversies and the spotlight being placed firmly on the referee’s and their decisions.
Arsenal remain top of the league thanks to a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace but they were forced to see-out the remaining half hour with 10-men after referee Chris Foy controversially sent off Mikel Arteta after he was adjudged to have brought down Marouane Chamakh near the half way line. Was he the last man? Was Arteta’s denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity? Foy obviously thought so.
Tottenham kept in touch with their north London rivals after a 1-0 win over Hull City on Sunday but the winning goal came in controversial circumstances when referee Michael Oliver awarded a penalty to the home side just 10 minutes from time when Elmohamady was harshly pulled up for handling in the area.
These are just two examples of the refereeing decisions that have had us all talking down the pub this weekend, so it’s no surprise fans are keen to know who’ll be officiating their teams games for upcoming fixtures.
Here’s a run-through of which ref’s have been selected for next weekends Premier League matches:
Are you happy with the referee that will be officiating your teams game? Share your views below.

The poor refereeing we have in England is due either to a poor standard of refereeing in the Premier league or is intentional. It can not be neither. In other words unintentional or intentional.
Could someone please tell me how it is the largest region for referees is London and the South East, yet there isn’t one referee in the premier league from that region?
The majority of refs in the Premier League are from the North West a small region.
