But while they&#8217;ve been shown 30 yellow cards, England has never sent an Everton player off. England has awarded the blue half of Merseyside two penalties to date, compared to three for the opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Category<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Total<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Matches<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">15<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Wins<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Draws<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Defeats<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">League points<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">18<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Penalties per game<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0.13<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Yellow cards per game<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2.0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Red cards per game<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-happened-when-darren-england-last-refereed-everton\">What happened when Darren England last refereed Everton?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>England&#8217;s last game involving Everton was a big one, taking charge of the Merseyside derby at Anfield back in September. It wasn&#8217;t a happy occasion for the Toffees, who lost 2-1 to Liverpool thanks to first-half goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike, rendering Idrissa Gana Gueye&#8217;s 58th-minute strike meaningless. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Iliman Ndiaye were booked for David Moyes&#8217; side, while Dominik Szoboszlai and Florian Wirtz were shown yellow cards for the hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The previous game before that involving England and Everton saw the Toffees beat Fulham 3-1 at Craven Cottage at the end of the 2024\/25 campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr \/>\r\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/midnite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Midnite Offer<\/a>: Bet \u00a310, get \u00a330 in free bets<\/h2>\r\n<p><strong>How to claim:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Open an account at Midnite using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/go\/midnite?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>this link<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\r\n<li>Deposit \u00a310 or more<\/li>\r\n<li>Place your first bet of \u00a310 or more (minimum odds of 1\/1)<\/li>\r\n<li>Receive \u00a330 in free bets, valid for 7 days on selected betse only.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/go\/midnite?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1422505 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06121645\/image-148-1024x358.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06121645\/image-148-1024x358.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06121645\/image-148-300x105.png 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06121645\/image-148-768x268.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06121645\/image-148-400x140.png 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06121645\/image-148-572x200.png 572w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06121645\/image-148-172x60.png 172w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06121645\/image-148-150x52.png 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06121645\/image-148-40x14.png 40w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06121645\/image-148.png 1499w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>18+ New customers only.

England&#8217;s 0.20 penalties per game is also low down the averages among Premier League officials, as is his 22.07 fouls per game, suggesting he will try to let Everton and Man Utd go at it in a flowing encounter.<\/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>Everton and Manchester United lock horns in the Premier League on Monday at 8pm, with Darren England appointed as the referee.
