Mark Clattenburg will referee Sunday's North London derby despite criticism of his performance in last weekend's 0-0 draw between Manchester United and Burnley.
Clattenburg
has been put in charge of the meeting between Arsenal and Tottenham
Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium for his first Premier League appointment
since sending off Jose Mourinho and Ander Herrera at Old Trafford.
Mourinho, who has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association
after allegedly using abusive and/or insulting words toward an official
in the tunnel at half-time, appeared to be frustrated at Clattenburg's
decision not to award Matteo Darmian a penalty.
Herrera was later shown a second yellow card in controversial
circumstances as he was deemed to have brought down Dean Marney but
appeared to have slipped.
