Thomas Bramall made a call during Aston Villa's clash with Manchester United that ended up having an impact on the battle for Champions League qualification.

Anthony Taylor has been confirmed as the referee when Liverpool get their title defence underway on Friday night.



Helping him will be assistants Gary Beswick and Craig Taylor, fourth official Farai Hallam, video assistant referee (VAR) Michael Oliver and finally assistant VAR Bramall.

It was less than three months ago when Bramall took charge of a final-day clash at Old Trafford and made a decision that is set to have repercussions on the season ahead.
