A number of Liverpool supporters are unhappy that Craig Pawson will take charge of the Reds’ Premier League clash with Leeds United.
It feels like a lifetime ago that Jurgen Klopp’s side drew 1-1 at home to Chelsea, with the international break getting in the way of domestic action.
Liverpool return to the pitch on Sunday afternoon for what could be a mouthwatering clash, as Leeds host the Reds at Elland Road.

Both sides are famed for the attacking football they play, so there is every chance that an entertaining encounter could take place.
It has been confirmed by the Premier League [via Anfield Watch on Twitter] that Pawson will referee the game, while Darren England is in charge of VAR.
Pawson officiated Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on the final day of last season, but he also awarded Everton an extremely soft penalty at Anfield back in 2017, and it seems fans haven’t forgotten.
