Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Michael Oliver is set to officiate Chelsea vs Arsenal this Sunday – which is ominous news for Arsenal.
The Gunners already possess a dreadful record at Stamford Bridge in recent seasons having lost on their last five visits, including the 3-1 setback in February.
Wenger’s side already have their backs to the wall and referee Michael Oliver represents more bad news for Arsene Wenger.
The Gunners have a shocking record under the official, winning only four of the 19 Premier League games he has taken charge of over his time in the top division.
Oliver recently oversaw Arsenal’s embarrassing 3-0 defeat away to Crystal Palace and their 2-1 North London derby loss in April.
The crunch match with Antonio Conte’s side will be a test of Arsenal’s season credentials. The Gunners have already been battered by Liverpool and Oliver’s appointment is ominous ahead of the showdown at the Bridge.
Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to share their anguish at the appointment…
Terrible decision to appoint that beta male Michael Oliver to referee Chelsea/Arsenal. Should've been an alpha referee like Anthony Taylor.

Lol never thought our record was that poor with Michael Oliver, genuinely think he's the best referee in the league, by a far margin.
