One of the more experienced referees in the league, Marriner has refereed City a staggering 55 times but has only dished out three red cards. Despite that he's only been in charge of the Blues once this season - a 2-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace in which Aymeric Laporte was given a red card.

Other memorable appointments are the 4-3 loss away at Liverpool in January 2018, the crucial 2-0 away victory at Old Trafford towards the end of the 2018/19 title race and City's loss against Leeds at home last season. The 51-year-old has dished out 45 cards so far this season, two of them being red, and has awarded four penalties in all competitions.
