Mike Dean for Chelsea, Man U clash

Chelsea take on Manchester United this weekend in one of their biggest games of the season but there might be something of a distraction throughout the game.

Mike Dean has been announced as the referee for the clash at Stamford Bridge on Saturday in what could well be a fiery encounter between the two clubs, and Dean has already dished out a red card to United.

Nemanja Matic was given his marching orders for the Red Devils during their 2-1 win over Watford earlier in the season, with Dean then taking charge of the Blues’ 0-0 draw with West Ham last month.

In fact, Dean has been pretty card happy this season as he has already dished out three red cards in just six Premier League matches, with seven yellow cards being shown in Bournemouth’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.

Ian Hussin and Darren Cann will be the linesman for the match, while Craig Pawson will be the fourth official.
