Liverpool fans have questioned the Premier League's decision to make Anthony Taylor the referee for the crucial fixture against Man City on Sunday.
Taylor's appointment was met with dismay on Tuesday as Jurgen Klopp's side learnt who would be officiating at the Etihad Stadium. And the news that Paul Tierney would be on VAR was not warmly received given his history with Liverpool over the past few seasons and the fact that both men are born in and around Manchester.
Taylor was in charge of the game between Tottenham Hotspur and the Reds earlier this season when he failed to send of Spurs striker Harry Kane for a shin-high challenge on Andy Robertson. After the match, Klopp confronted the referee to tell him that he has a problem with no referee in the league apart from Tierney.
