As for card total at this point in the ongoing Premier League season, Oliver has issued a total of 21 yellow cards across his four matches, but is yet to send off any player whilst also still looking for his first penalty to be awarded.
Assistant Referees
Supporting Michael Oliver from either touchline will be assistant referees Stuart Burt (44) and Dan Cook (36).
Video Assistant Referees
Over in the VAR Hub at Stockley Park, lead Video Assistant Referee duties have been appointed to John Brooks (34), whilst the role of Assistant Video Assistant Referee will be taken on by Richard West (49).
