MAN IN THE MIDDLE: Michael Oliver

30th September

Michael Oliver will be the man in the middle when Swansea City take on Liverpool this weekend.
Oliver, from Northumberland, has taken charge of six domestic games so far this season and is yet to show a red card.
He was in European action in midweek, taking charge of Sporting Lisbon's Champions League fixture against Legia Warsaw.
Oliver last refereed the Swans on the penultimate weekend of last season, when Francesco Guidolin's team romped to a 4-1 win at West Ham United.
The 31-year-old has taken charge of seven previous games at the Liberty Stadium, including Liverpool's visit back in September 2013.
On that day, the points were shared as Jonjo Shelvey grabbed the headlines in an entertaining 2-2 draw.
Oliver's most recent appearance in SA1 was for the 1-0 win over Watford back in January, when Guidolin was watching on from the directors' box having just been appointed.
The Swans have lost only once at home when Oliver has been in charge - when Leicester won 3-0 last December.
He was also the fourth official during the Swans' League Cup final win over Bradford at Wembley in 2013.
