With a thrilling title race shaping up and the battle for survival getting tighter with every passing week, referees will know that their decisions over the next few weeks and months could be season-defining, as the pressure mounts on teams to deliver heading into the business end of the campaign.
Football FanCast has created a handy list of each game, who the referee and VAR officials will be, as well as their statistics for the season so far, per Transfermarkt .
Manchester United v Everton
Simon hooper.
We kick off this weekend's action with a lunchtime game between Manchester United and Everton at Old Trafford.
The referee in charge will be Simon Hooper , with David Coote taking up the reins as the VAR.
Manchester United have won one and lost one with Hooper in charge of their Premier League matches this season, while Everton have just lost one in their only game officiated by him.
Bournemouth v Sheffield United
Anthony taylor.
Two teams in the bottom half come head-to-head on Saturday afternoon as Bournemouth welcome a Sheffield United side who are fresh off the back of a thumping 6-0 defeat against Arsenal.
Anthony Taylor will be in charge of the game, with Michael Salisbury selected to rule over any contentious decisions from Stockley Park.
Out of these two, Sheffield United are the only team who have featured in a game officiated by Taylor, as they drew 1-1 with Aston Villa.
Crystal Palace v Luton
Sunny singh gill.
Oliver Glasner's Crystal Palace side will welcome a Luton Town side who have proven to be tricky away from home at times this season.
Sunny Singh Gill will be the man in the middle, with Peter Bankes on VAR duty.
This is Sunny's first time refereeing in the Premier League, so best of luck to him.
Wolves v Fulham
Tony harrington.
Gary O'Neil will be desperate for his Wolves side to bounce back this weekend against Fulham , after suffering a heavy defeat at the hands of Newcastle United last time out.
In charge of this one will be Tony Harrington , while the VAR official will be John Brooks.
Due to Harrington only having refereed four Premier League games so far this season, neither side have featured under him.
Arsenal v Brentford
Arsenal will head into this one full of confidence after a humiliating 6-0 win over Sheffield United, while Brentford could only manage a draw at home to Chelsea.
Rob Jones will be in charge at the Emirates, with Paul Tierney assisting with all VAR matters.
Brentford have one draw and one loss so far this season in games refereed by Rob Jones, while Arsenal have one draw.
Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur
Chris kavanagh.
Sunday kicks off with a tasty fixture in the battle for a Champions League spot, as Aston Villa welcome Tottenham to the Midlands.
Chris Kavanagh is the man in the middle for this clash, while Tim Robinson will be on VAR.
Aston Villa are yet to be refereed in the Premier League by Kavanagh this season, and Spurs secured a thumping 4-1 win over Newcastle United in their only game officiated by him.
Brighton v Nottingham Forest
Michael salisbury.
Two sides who have been struggling a little bit in recent times go head-to-head on Sunday afternoon, as Brighton & Hove Albion welcome Nuno Espirito Santo's Nottingham Forest to the AMEX.
Michael Salisbury is entrusted with keeping the peace on Sunday, with Craig Pawson on VAR duty.
Neither side have won in a game officiated by Salisbury this season, with Brighton drawing and Forest losing in their only game apiece.
West Ham United v Burnley
Darren england.
West Ham United are in a bit of a purple patch at the moment in the Premier League, but the same can't be said about the opposition for this weekend's clash, as Burnley look nailed on for relegation.
Darren England is the man with the cards, while in the VAR room will be Andy Madley.
Due to England only refereeing in six games in the Premier League so far this season, neither side have experienced a match controlled by him.
Liverpool v Manchester City
Michael oliver.
In what is arguably the game of the weekend, Manchester City will travel to Anfield to face Liverpool in a top of the table clash.
Michael Oliver is the man with the cards for this vital clash, while in the VAR room will be Stuart Attwell.
Liverpool are unbeaten in games officiated by Oliver this season, with two wins and one draw. On the other hand, the Citizens don't have an unbeaten record as they've won one but lost to Arsenal.
Chelsea v Newcastle United
John brooks.
This gameweek's Monday night game will feature two of the Premier League's big spenders, as Chelsea welcome Eddie Howe's Newcastle United to Stamford Bridge.
John Brooks is the man with the cards, while in the VAR room will be Jarred Gillett.
Newcastle have won one and lost one in games refereed by Brooks this season, while Chelsea have a losing record of one loss.
Bournemouth v Luton Town
Sam allison.
There's an extra game in this matchday as the likes of Bournemouth and Luton Town are set to meet once again after their clash earlier on in the season was abandoned after Tom Lockyer collapsed on the field.
Sam Allison is the man with the cards, while in the VAR room will be Michael Oliver.
Luton had the pleasure of picking up a win in Allison's only Premier League game to date, as they beat Sheffield United away from home back in December.
