Manchester City host Sheffield United on Saturday in their final Premier League match of the year, but who is the referee for the clash?
Before their hard-fought 3-1 victory over Everton at Goodison Park, Manchester City had won just one of their previous six Premier League games.
Pep Guardiola’s side seem firmly back on track now, and they anticipate the long-awaited return of Kevin De Bruyne, who has spent all season out injured.
On Saturday, they welcome Sheffield United to the Etihad Stadium. The Blades are bottom of the league following their 3-2 home defeat to Luton in what was a pivotal match in the relegation fight.
