    MICHAEL OLIVER will referee a Premier League game this Saturday and a huge title clash next month.

    The official is at the centre of huge controversy for sending off Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly in a decision that has been slammed by fans and pundits.

    But he will be back on the field in the Champions League on Wednesday for Barcelona vs Atalanta and then this weekend he will oversee the Ipswich vs Southampton.

    The 39-year-old ref will then have the whistle for the Merseyside derby on February 12 as Everton welcome Liverpool to Goodison Park.

    The fixture has been re-arranged from December 7 after it was postponed due to Storm Darragh.

    Liverpool currently sit six points above Arsenal at the top of the table and the derby is their game in-hand over the Gunners.

    Oliver was the subject of fierce criticism for red carding Lewis-Skelly against Wolves for a foul on Matt Doherty.

    The wonderkid cynically tripped the defender as he broke away on the counter-attack, with most expecting a yellow to be shown.

    But Oliver shockingly brandished a red for serious foul play and the decision was not overturned by VAR.

    Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was left “absolutely fuming” and club icon Ian Wright slammed it as a “joke”.

    BBC pundit Pat Nevin hit out at the standard of officiating, claiming it set a “bar so low even a limbo dancing snake couldn’t get under it”.

    Former PGMOL chief Keith Hackett agreed that Oliver made a “major error” and felt he needed a “rest for a couple of weeks” to stay out the firing line.

      Police have also launched an investigation after the Newcastle-born whistleblower received vile death threats.

      The PGMOL issued a statement on Sunday, saying it was “appalled” by the “abhorrent” threats and abuse aimed at their official.

      Darren England, who was on VAR in Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Wolves and decided not to overturn Lewis-Skelly’s red card, has also come under fire.

      He will ref another title-impacting game this Saturday as he has been given Bournemouth vs Liverpool.

      MARK HALSEY: Questions have to be asked of VAR after Lewis-Skelly sending off... here's what SHOULD have happened

      By Mark Halsey

      VAR Darren England should have recommended a review as soon as referee Michael Oliver showed Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly a straight red card for his challenge on Wolves’ Matt Doherty.

      An official has to decide whether the challenge was careless or reckless — careless is a free-kick only, reckless is a yellow card — or worthy of a red card.

      When a player lunges at an opponent with one or two feet from the front, the side or from the back which endangers the player’s safety with excess force or/and brutality, it must be sanctioned with a red.

      I saw it as a reckless challenge worthy of a yellow, not a red.

      So why did Darren not recommend a review? Once the red card was shown, the VAR should have intervened.

      If Michael had the opportunity to view the challenge again, I’m sure he would have changed his mind, cancelled the red card and issued a yellow.

      As for Arsenal fans’ views that Michael is biased against them, I’m not buying into that. You can never question the integrity of a match official and Michael is one of our best referees.

      Officials cannot get everything right and that is why we have VAR to help. So questions have to be asked of Darren.

      With the second yellow for Joao Gomes after catching Jurrien Timber on the ankle, you could argue that was a worse challenge than the Lewis-Skelly one.
