Ref watch: Attwell to officiate at City

Stuart Attwell will be the man in the middle to take charge of Manchester City vs AFC Bournemouth on Saturday.

This will be the first time the two sides meet this season, with Bournemouth looking to take points off City for the first time in their Premier League history.

Attwell has officiated six top flight fixtures this season, dishing out 22 yellow cards and zero red cards.

The 36-year-old has also awarded one penalty, which was scored by Marco Arnautovic against Bournemouth, when the Cherries beat West Ham United away with a 2-1 win in August.

Attwell’s assistants this Saturday will be Stuart Burk and Derek Eaton, with Anthony Taylor the fourth official.
