Mike Dean announced as referee for Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool as Premier League officials for every game in this week's return are confirmed

The Premier League have announced the referees for the Premier League's return games this week with Mike Dean taking charge of the Merseyside derby.

Dean will be the man in the middle when Liverpool go to neighbours Everton at Goodison Park with the possibility of a league title on the line.

Should Arsenal beat Manchester City on Wednesday night, Jurgen Klopp's side could wrap up their first title in 30 years against their bitter rivals on Sunday.
