Arsenal fans fume as Oliver appointed to Chelsea clash

Arsenal fans are unhappy with the appointment of Michael Oliver to Sunday's high noon clash with Chelsea.

The Gunners always seem to struggle when Oliver takes charge.

Oliver has officiated in 19 Premier League games involving Arsenal – who have won just FOUR of them.

Oliver was also in charge of two defeats last season: a 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace and a 2-0 defeat to rivals Spurs at White Hart Lane in late April. He also sent off Laurent Koscielny against Everton.

The Gunners have managed to win just 21 per cent of Prem games in which Oliver has taken charge.
