Manchester United and Everton face off in the Premier League on Monday at 8pm, with Tony Harrington set to referee.
Harrington has refereed five Premier League games so far this season, one of the lesser-used officials. But he has officiated both of these sides already across all competitions.
Harrington was the man in the middle for Man Utd’s Carabao Cup defeat to Grimsby Town, while also overseeing Everton’s 2-0 league defeat to Manchester City.
Man Utd go into this game now unbeaten in five league matches, but they have drawn their past two. Everton, meanwhile, ended a run of three games without victory with a win before the international break.
