Manchester City continue their hunt for a treble as they face Arsenal in a huge game in the 2022/23 Premier League title race.

Pep Guardiola's side could close the gap at the top of the table to just two points, with two games in hand too. Along with a potential FA Cup and Champions League trophy, Man City are looking to achieve a special treble this season.

Many fans view this as a must-win fixture for the Gunners. They have drawn each of their last three games, including a six-goal thriller against 20th-place Southampton.

Who is the referee for Man City vs Arsenal?

Michael Oliver has been put in charge of their huge title clash. The English referee is one of the most experienced officials in the country and has already taken charge of big games this season. He has handed out 74 yellows cards and one red card in the 2022/23 season.

No side has picked up more wins in the Premier League when Michael Oliver is in charge than Man City, winning 31 of their 41 matches. Arsenal on the other hand have lost 16 games when the referee has officiated, the fourth-worst record in the league.

Despite this record, Arsenal have won all four games with Oliver this season. City also won both of theirs, including a 6-3 victory over local rivals Man United when Phil Foden and Erling Haaland both scored hat-tricks.
