The Premier League have confirmed Michael Oliver and Anthony Taylor will both return to refereeing duties this coming weekend.

Oliver was at the centre of several contentious decisions during Manchester City's 2-2 draw against Arsenal, with John Stones securing a 98th minute equaliser for Pep Guardiola's side.

Arsenal were down to ten men after Leandro Trossard received two yellow cards in the first half. His second booking was controversially given for kicking the ball away.

City were also left frustrated when Oliver called Kyle Walker and his colleagues out of position just before Arsenal scored their first goal on a counter attack.
