Liverpool fans fume at choice of referee for this weekend's clash against title rivals Man City - as one points out that Chris Kavanagh was born just FIVE miles from the Etihad Stadium

Liverpool fans are fuming at the choice of referee for their top-of-the-table clash with Manchester City on Saturday.

Jurgen Klopp's side could go top of the table if they beat the reigning Premier League champions in the lunchtime kick-off on Saturday.

Chris Kavanagh has been appointed as the referee for the massive clash between the two title rivals, with Stuart Attwell on VAR.

Liverpool have a good record in games which Kavanagh has taken charge of, winning 13 out of a possible 15 matches.

However, Liverpool fans have slammed the decision, with one even pointing out the distance from the town Kavanagh was born, to the Etihad Stadium.
