Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has a bitter history with the official chosen to serve as video assistant referee for the blockbuster Premier League encounter against Manchester City.
Paul Tierney, from Greater Manchester, has been chosen to aid referee Anthony Taylor, also from Manchester, in Sunday's potential title-decider.
The 41-year-old enraged Klopp earlier this season by waving away Liverpool's penalty appeals during December's clash against Tottenham after Diogo Jota was bundled over in the area.
