Anthony Taylor is set to take charge of the huge Premier League title clash between Arsenal and Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night. Mikel Arteta has already made his feelings about the Premier League referee clear after clashing with the official numerous times this season.
Taylor is somewhat of a good omen for the Gunners after having refereed them on four occasions this term - with Arteta's side winning each of those fixtures. Despite the good record when he has refereed Arsenal matches, Arteta took issue with some of Taylor's decisions during their 4-2 win away against Brighton back in December.
Taylor is regarded as one of the Premier League's top referees, but the standard of officiating has been called into question after a weekend of poor decision-making by on-field officials and VAR. Taylor booked Arteta for his touchline antics during their dramatic win against Manchester United last month, weeks after the Spaniard was left smiling at some of the questionable decisions made by the referee in the win against the Seagulls.
