MIKE DEAN
Aston Villa vs Manchester City will be Dean's first game in charge of City this season, with his last refereeing duties over the Blues coming back in April for the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea, where City lost 1-0. He has refereed City 17 times in the Premier League under Guardiola. A record of 10 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses (all of which were away fixtures), and plenty of interesting (to say the least!) calls along the way.
