       Safe pair of hands appointed for the first legs! Deserved for
       Mike Dean as I think he’s had a great season - although
       disappointing that his team have been split up with Ian Hussin
       on the game instead of Dan Robathan! Oliver always rises to the
       big occasions, so a great choice for the London derby!
       I wonder who will get the second legs and final? I would predict
       Taylor/Pawson for th return London Derby, the other semi final
       appointment may well depend on the first leg score! As for the
       final, which officials have not yet had the honour and would be
       trusted with the occasion? Mason? Tierney? East? Kavanagh?
       Attwell? Moss?

       The fact there is VAR on the first leg of the Man City game
       presumably means they will use it on the second leg at Burton -
       last year Man City played Bristol City and VAR wasn't used for
       either game.
       Both Oliver and Dean have had good seasons so are good
       appointments.
       As for the final, there seems to be a choice between one of the
       more experienced referees (Mason, Moss, possibly Probert or
       Scott) or an up and coming referee (Kavanagh, Tierney,
       Attwell...)
       I'm not sure there's a clear favourite - I'd probably lean
       towards it being one of the more experienced referees, with
       Mason or Moss most likely, but who really knows.
       I think Bobby Madley might have been favourite going into the
       season if he was still officiating in England.

       Of those you've quoted, I think it would have to be Jon Moss.
       Too early for Kavanagh or Tierney in my view, and I'm not sure
       the authorities would entrust the Final with Attwell, and
       certainly not Mason or East. Possibly one of these for the
       return leg at Burton (depending on 1st leg result).

       Good set of appointments. Best of luck to all of the officials.
       I reckon Anthony Taylor or Martin Atkinson will get the second
       leg at Stamford Bridge.

       I'll be very surprised if it isn't Moss for the Final. The
       teflon coated referee who never does wrong even when he does
       wrong.

       I think moss is an absolute shoe in. Let’s be fair it’s going to
       be Man City v either spurs/Chelsea and moss has done big games
       in the past (whether or not he deserves it is another matter)

       Moss has probably had more head to head games between the 'top
       6' than anyone else so assuming Man City make the final would
       probably be the favourite.
       Lee Mason has had some good Football League appointments in the
       past though, including a Man City V Liverpool League Cup
       semi-final and a Championship play-off final.

       Any news on the second leg appointments? When are they likely to
       be announced?
