Anthony Taylor has been announced as the referee for Chelsea's visit of Manchester City this weekend.
The champions take on Mauricio Pochettino's side at Stamford Bridge and Taylor will be the man in the middle.
His appointment for Sunday's 16:30pm kick-off comes after he refereed in the Championship for the first time in four years at the weekend.
That demotion came following a penalty call given against Wolves in their 2-2 draw against Newcastle.

Hwang Hee-chan was deemed to have fouled Fabian Schar as he tried to clear the ball and the VAR did not overturn his decision.
Manager Gary O'Neil was furious and described the incident as "scandalous".
But his performance in Preston North End vs Coventry didn't help his cause after he gave another controversial spot-kick.

He pointed to the spot when Milutin Osmajic went down under the challenge from Kyle McFadzean as he raced through and attempted a shot, though replays showed the contact was minimal.
Alan Browne scored the resulting penalty and Preston ran out 3-2 winners at Deepdale.
Taylor's recall to the top flight will not go down well with Chelsea supporters given their view of him as an official and recent instances where he has taken charge of their matches.

A thread containing all of the times Taylor has "gone against" them was compiled in August 2020 and two years later 46,000 fans signed a petition demanding he no longer referees their matches.
It came after a 2-2 draw with Spurs at Stamford Bridge, where Cristian Romero was not penalised for pulling the hair of Marc Cucurella as Harry Kane headed home a late leveller.
