The referee for the big Premier League clash between Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur this Sunday has been confirmed.Spurs are running out of matches to save their season, as they currently sit two points adrift of 17th place with four games to go.Every game will be seen as a must-win for Roberto De Zerbi’s men, who travel to Villa Park to take on a side which will be in Europa League semi-final action on Thursday.Tottenham fans will be hoping that Unai Emery’s side will have half an eye on progressing to the final and take their eye off the ball in the Premier League, given that the Villans look well placed to secure Champions League qualification.

James Mainwaring and Wade Smith have been named as his assistants.Paul Tierney will be the fourth official, and he may have plenty on his hands, given De Zerbi’s tendency to be animated and come out of his area. Tony Harrington will be the VAR for the game, and he will be assisted by Nick Hopton.According to Transfermarkt, Barrott has only overseen five matches involving Tottenham, with the Lilywhites winning two, drawing two and losing the other. He has handed 12 yellow cards to Spurs players in those clashes but has not brandished a red.
