The referee for this weekend’s FA Cup final has been announced, and it’s Andy Madley, the same referee who had the whistle when Manchester United lost 7-0 to Liverpool in March last year. Madley was also the referee when Brighton thrashed United 4-0 at the end of the 2021/22 season.
Has Andy Madley refereed a Manchester Derby before?
Yes, Madley was in fact also in charge of the City v United league clash a couple of months ago (March 2024) at the Etihad, which the former comfortably won 3-1.
The 2023/24 Premier League season has just concluded, and here’s a look at all the goalless draws (0-0 scoreline games) that we saw in this edition of the league.
Interestingly, there were only 11 draws in the 2023/24 PL season. Given that a single campaign has 380 games, that amounts to 2.89% ending in 0-0 scorelines.
Arsenal’s only 0-0 league draw was against Man City and Liverpool’s solitary 0-0 was against Manchester United.
The very first 0-0 of the season involved Chelsea, but they didn’t have any other 0-0 game in the league.
Here is a look at Liverpool’s record on the final day of the season in the Premier League era (1992 till date). Contains a list of every LFC match played on the last day of the PL season from 1992/93 till date and their result (W/D/L)
Interestingly, Liverpool have never lost their last league game of the season in the Jurgen Klopp era (from 2015/16). The 2023/24 fixture against Wolves was LFC’s final one under Klopp, who is leaving the club at the end of the campaign.
