The Premier League have confirmed that John Moss will referee Liverpool – Watford this weekend.
Posted on their official website, the Premier League have announced that the Sunderland-born official will take charge of the Reds trip down south against the Hornets. Stuart Attwell will be on VAR duty.
Liverpool will be hoping to return to winning ways after drawing against Manchester City in their previous league fixture. Watford, meanwhile, will begin a new era under Claudia Ranieri.
It will be a big game for both sides, with the hosts famously beating Liverpool in their title-winning season to bring an end to their unbeaten run in the Premier League.
Indeed, the history is there between the two sides. And with Watford starting the season well despite the recent dismissal of Xisco Munoz, Liverpool should be in for a tough match.
A win for the Reds against Watford could fire Liverpool top of the Premier League, but there has already been some stir on social media given who will referee the fixture.
