In his four matches this season, Pawson\u2019s handed out nine yellows, sent off Aston Villa\u2019s Esri Konsa, and pointed to the spot once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/match-preview-brentford-vs-man-utd-27-09-25-premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brentford vs Manchester United: predictions, stats, tips &amp; odds<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h3>Quick Links<\/h3><ul><li><a href=\"#h-craig-pawson-s-brentford-record\" data-level=\"2\">Craig Pawson\u2019s Brentford Record<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-craig-pawson-s-man-utd-record\" data-level=\"2\">Craig Pawson\u2019s Man Utd Record<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-summary\" data-level=\"2\">Summary<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-craig-pawson-s-brentford-record\">Craig Pawson\u2019s Brentford Record<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Category<\/th><th>Total<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Matches<\/td><td>8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wins<\/td><td>4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Draws<\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Defeats<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>League Points<\/td><td>13<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Penalties Per Game<\/td><td>0.12<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Yellow Cards Per Game<\/td><td>1.25<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Reds Per Game<\/td><td>0<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pawson has overseen eight Brentford matches spread across all four divisions of the Football League, the first of which stretches all the way back to a 3-0 defeat to Chester in 2008 when the club were in League Two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across those eight games, the Bees have won four, received just 10 yellow cards, have never had a player sent off, and have been awarded a single penalty. They\u2019ve kept their discipline impressively in many of those fixtures, having gone card-free in three matches and receiving just one booking in another three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, half of their 10 yellow cards came in just one game, which was a heated 1-0 defeat to Newcastle in 2023. That match saw Callum Wilson score from a highly contentious penalty, sparking frustration from then Brentford boss Thomas Frank, who fumed: &#8220;We have a keeper clearly pulling out and a player cleverly letting his leg hang there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Now we will have a situation where Howard Webb will come out and apologise about the situation and say &#8216;we&#8217;re sorry&#8217;. Going forward these should not be penalties.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-craig-pawson-s-man-utd-record\">Craig Pawson\u2019s Man Utd Record<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Category<\/th><th>Total<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Matches<\/td><td>39<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wins<\/td><td>20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Draws<\/td><td>9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Defeats<\/td><td>10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>League Points<\/td><td>51<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Penalties Per Game<\/td><td>0.0.5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Yellow Cards Per Game<\/td><td>2.08<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Reds Per Game<\/td><td>0<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pawson has officiated 39 Man Utd matches dating back to 2014, during which he\u2019s handed the Red Devils 81 yellows, zero reds, and just two penalties. Under his whistle, Man Utd have won 20 matches, drawn nine, and lost 10 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pawson wasn\u2019t exactly a lucky charm for Man Utd last season. Both of the matches he officiated resulted in defeats for the Red Devils: a 2-1 loss at Brighton and a humbling 3-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth, during which he awarded the Cherries a penalty, which was converted by Justin Kluivert en route to convincing victory for the visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pawson previously found himself at the centre of controversy in 2022 during a clash between Man Utd and Newcastle, when the FA charged the Red Devils for failing to control their players. This came after Pawson disallowed a Cristiano Ronaldo goal and then booked the forward, having also waved away a strong penalty appeal for the hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-summary\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Man Utd have some history with Craig Pawson, setting the stage up for a bit of needle this weekend. In contrast, Brentford\u2019s matches under his watch have typically been uneventful, with few cards shown &#8211; the exception being a fiery encounter against Newcastle two years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brentford have enjoyed recent success at home against Man Utd, taking seven points from their last three meetings at the Gtech and scoring four goals in two of those games. Meanwhile, Man Utd have picked up 2 or more yellow cards in five of the last six encounters between the sides.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Craig Pawson has been named as the referee for Saturday\u2019s lunchtime Premier League kick-off between Brentford and Manchester United at the Gtech Community Stadium.
