The Premier League has announced the referee for the upcoming Chelsea vs. Arsenal match, and it appears the choice may not favor the Blues.

Paul Tierney will be on VAR duty for what is likely to be a heated and feisty London derby between the two old-time rivals.

Oliver has officiated 43 Premier League matches involving Chelsea in the past, in which the Blues have won 21 times and lost on 11 occasions.

Chelsea can take a decent lead over Arsenal in the Premier League table with a win at the Emirates Stadium at the weekend move further up the table.
