Cards: 🟨 🟨 🟨 🟨
Assistants: Tim Wood, Mark Scholes.
Fourth official: Paul Tierney.
VAR: Peter Bankes.
Assistant VAR: Nick Hopton.
The last two Villa matches in which David Coote has officiated have both resulted in shockingly poor performances as the official lost control of the matches early, allowed them to descend into little more than brawls and made bewilderingly inconsistent and plain wrong decisions throughout.

Referee Coote takes charge just weeks following the battle of West London as he proved to be “totally out of control, failed to clamp down early, gave Mee the benefit of the doubt, chaos ensued.” Breath duly held.
