Premier League referee decision could anger Mikel Arteta as bold Arsenal call made

After the disappointment of losing to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-final on Tuesday night, will return to domestic action this weekend.

The Gunners will host Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday evening, in their first match since the title race officially came to an end.

Liverpool's win over on Sunday means that Arsenal are now 15 points behind in second spot, with just four fixtures left to play and they're now unable to catch their rivals.

Even though the main focus of Arsenal's season is now firmly on the , will still be determined to finish the season strong and win their final four Premier League matches.

Going into their game against Bournemouth, the Premier League have confirmed who will be the referee for the clash in north London.

Jarred Gillett will be the referee for the fixture - with Richard West and Steve Meredith as two assistant referees. Michael Salisbury has been appointed as the VAR (video assistant referee) for the match at the Emirates Stadium.

It was in October that The Mirror reported that Arsenal were "unhappy" that Gillett was on VAR duty for their Premier League clash away at Newcastle United. At the time, this was the fourth game of the campaign where Gillett was involved, with the previous three ending in two wins and one defeat.

The appointment earlier in the season came after Gillett was on VAR for Arsenal's 2-0 loss away at Bournemouth, incidentally. That match saw Gillett advise on-field referee Rob Jones a red card should be given to William Saliba at the Vitality Stadium.

The report from The Mirror stated that Arsenal "weren't impressed" that The Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) had appointed Gillett for another of their fixtures after several decisions did not go in favour.

Gillett has not been the referee for an Arsenal match in the Premier League since their 1-0 win over Tottenham in the North London Derby back in September.
