After a recent 1-0 loss to Newcastle United, Arsenal has already seen their title aspirations impacted.
With their title pursuit in a precarious position, Mikel Arteta’s side faces the added concern of Oliver’s officiating, which fans believe has historically worked against them.
The appointment has fueled skepticism among Gunners fans, many of whom remember past incidents involving Oliver.
Notably, during Arsenal’s match against Manchester City in September, Oliver dismissed Leandro Trossard with a red card, a decision many fans found contentious.
The Gunners fought valiantly with 10 men before conceding a last-minute equalizer, leaving supporters wary of similar disruptions in the upcoming match against Chelsea.
Fans on social media voiced their apprehension, with some suggesting a potential red card or penalty decision could again shape the game’s outcome.
