Why Everton and Harrison Armstrong will be fuming with Tony Harrington appointment vs Arsenal
After losing 2-0 to Chelsea at Hill Dickinson Stadium, things aren't set to get any easier for David Moyes and Co.
A Pedro Neto brace made all the difference last time around as there were few positives to take for the Toffees.
That was their first defeat of the campaign, but yet another top side lie in wait.
The Merseyside outfit will need everything to go in their favour if they are to take anything away from North London.
That is why the appointment of Harrington won't have gone down well, especially with Harrison Armstrong.
What has Tony Harrington done to Harrison Armstrong at Everton?
There are questions surrounding match officials every week.
That was the case last time out at Hill Dickinson Stadium as decisions seemed to go against the hosts.
They will be hoping for a different story in a trip to the Emirates.
Ahead of a clash with Arsenal, the Premier League has confirmed Harrington as referee.
That is a name that will certainly be remembered by Armstrong after the match official took charge of the Toffees away to Aston Villa in January.
Jake O'Brien saw a header ruled out, but only because the midfielder was deemed to be offside.
A James Garner sailed over the Englishman and found the defender to nod in at the back post, but Harrington said no.
The Blues went on to win at Villa Park thanks to Thierno Barry, but that controversy won't be forgotten.
What Everton can expect from Harrington vs Arsenal
The above decision was certainly frustrating and made many fans aware of the referee.
The irony is that the match official has actually taken charge of Everton in the Premier League more than any other side.
He has clocked up eight matches managing the Toffees.
That isn't to say that Moyes' side have a favourable record having won three, drawn two and lost three.
Harrington has given out an average of 2.75 yellow cards per game in that time.
His record with the Merseysiders points towards Arsenal arguably having the upper hand, even more so than they already might have.
It would be interesting to know what Everton make of this appointment and how it could impact them at the Emirates.
