Chris Kavanagh has been tasked with refereeing the Anfield battle.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No one will be focusing on the football in this game. It is Man City&#8217;s first match since being found guilty of 114 charges relating to the Premier League&#8217;s financial rules. But the Citizens will be hoping to keep things going on the pitch, still perfect after five matches. Liverpool, meanwhile, are also unbeaten with two wins and three draws so far in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This will be the fourth time Kavanagh has refereed a fixture between Liverpool and Man City, and the second-such meeting at Anfield. Kavanagh was the man in the middle for Man City&#8217;s 3-0 win over Liverpool at the Etihad last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Jump to:<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-chris-kavanagh-s-liverpool-record\" data-level=\"2\">Chris Kavanagh&#8217;s Liverpool record<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-chris-kavanagh-s-man-city-record\" data-level=\"2\">Chris Kavanagh&#8217;s Man City record<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-what-should-we-expect-from-chris-kavanagh\" data-level=\"2\">What should we expect from Chris Kavanagh?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-chris-kavanagh-s-liverpool-record\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chris Kavanagh&#8217;s Liverpool record<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This will be Kavanagh&#8217;s 33rd Liverpool game as referee, only officiating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/newcastle-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Newcastle United<\/a> (36) more. The Reds have won 19 of those games, but they have also lost seven with six draws. He&#8217;s called the matches pretty down the middle, with three penalties for and against Liverpool. Kavanagh was the man in the middle for Liverpool&#8217;s 2023\/24 Carabao Cup final win over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/chelsea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chelsea<\/a> but also saw them losing the Community Shield to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/crystal-palace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crystal Palace<\/a>.

There wasn&#8217;t much action for Kavanagh, with four yellow cards &#8212; three for Aston Villa. That was reflective in the fouls, with Aston Villa committing 12 to Liverpool&#8217;s nine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-chris-kavanagh-s-man-city-record\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chris Kavanagh&#8217;s Man City record<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kavanagh has only refereed Man City 17 times so far, the least of the so-called Big Six clubs. But Man City have a good record with Kavanagh in the middle. They&#8217;ve won 11 of the 17 games with three draws and three defeats, and four penalties going their way. That&#8217;s compared to just one penalty against them. But that penalty did come against Liverpool, in the Reds&#8217; 2-0 win at Anfield in December 2024. Man City have won their past three games with Kavanagh as referee, starting with a win over Liverpool.<\/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\">17<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Wins<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">11<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Draws<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Defeats<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">League points<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">33<\/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\">0.24<\/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\">1.76<\/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 id=\"h-what-happened-when-chris-kavanagh-last-refereed-man-city\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happened when Chris Kavanagh last refereed Man City?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kavanagh showed four yellow cards in his last Man City game, against Chelsea last season.
