Referee Jon Moss will officiate the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday night.
The 47-year-old will be the man in the middle, with assistants Simon Bennett and Andy Halliday, while the fourth official is Stuart Attwell.
Tottenham have only had Moss as their referee twice this season and have failed to win either matches.
He was in the middle at Old Trafford for Mauricio Pochettino's men's 1-0 defeat to Manchester United. He was also the referee as Spurs drew 2-2 against Liverpool at Anfield.
During that match he booked Dele Alli for diving, but also awarded Tottenham two penalties during the encounter, including the last-gasp one that Harry Kane scored from to level the match.
Referee Jon Moss
City have had mostly success with Moss in the middle, smashing Liverpool 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium earlier in the season. Then there was the 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace and the 2-0 victory at Stoke City.
Last season both team won all their Premier League matches with Moss as the referee, Spurs beating Swansea, Stoke, Crystal Palace and Manchester United, although they did lose at Liverpool in the League Cup with him in the middle. City beat Bournemouth, Hull and Watford.
Both teams will be hoping they don't need to rely on the Moss in the middle on Saturday.
