The referee for this weekend’s marquee North London derby has been announced as Australia’s Jarred Gillett. The 37-year-old was in charge of the Chelsea v Crystal Palace game (GW3) before the international break (it ended in a 1-1 draw), and somewhat interestingly, has already refereed the Gunners this season- he was the man with the whistle for their season opener against Wolves (2-0 win for AFC). He was also the referee for the Community Shield curtain raiser between Man Utd and City (which was won on penalties by MCFC)
