Two of the early games were in the FA Cup during the 2022-23 season, with England overseeing Man Utd in both the third and fourth rounds.

His first Liverpool game was in the Carabao Cup in 2021, but the next eight have all come in the Premier League. England did award a penalty against Liverpool in that first game, but has also awarded the Reds one. He has sent off a Liverpool player, too, with Ryan Gravenberch seeing red in a draw with Crystal Palace last season.<\/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\">9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Wins<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Draws<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Defeats<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">League points<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">12<\/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\">0.11<\/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\">2.44<\/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\">0.11<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-happened-when-darren-england-last-refereed-liverpool\">What happened when Darren England last refereed Liverpool?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liverpool won&#8217;t have fond memories of England&#8217;s last game in charge of them. The Reds were beaten 2-1 by Brighton in March, and had five players booked. It wasn&#8217;t just that he favoured Brighton. England booked five Brighton players too, as well as Fabian Hurzeler. That was despite only giving 11 fouls to each side. He was very quick with the card, which isn&#8217;t great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-should-we-expect-from-darren-england\">What should we expect from Darren England?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">England is one of the harsher referees in the Premier League. You only need to look at his last Liverpool game to see that. He averages 4.5 cards per game in the Premier League this season, the second-most of any referee with at least five matches officiated. England also averages just 4.8 fouls per card. There could be more cards than Christmas in this game.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/premier-league\/\"><strong>Premier League predictions &amp; tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/premier-league-title-odds\/\"><strong>Premier League outright odds <\/strong><\/a><\/li>\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\/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>Manchester United host Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday at 3:30pm, with Darren England set to referee.
