The Premier League have announced the match official selections for the upcoming round of fixtures, including the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton and Arsenal's trip across London to Chelsea.

The Premier League have announced the match official selections for the upcoming round of fixtures.

Top-level men's club football returns this weekend following the October international break.

Craig Pawson will take charge of the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton at Anfield, with Stuart Burt set to take on VAR duties back at Stockley Park.

Other headline fixtures include a mammoth London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, which will be refereed by Chris Kavanagh.

Darren England, the VAR who failed to deem Luis Diaz's goal onside in Liverpool's controversial defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last month, will return to officiating duties as a fourth official at Brentford vs Burnley having been stood down prior to the international break.

The assistant VAR from that game, Dan Cook, is also back in action as an assistant referee at Sheffield United vs Manchester United.

Here are the Premier League's selections in full.
