The match officials for Leeds United’s Premier League clash with Arsenal on Saturday have been announced, with Stuart Attwell set to take charge at Elland Road.
The Select Group official is in his 16th season in the Premier League. In that time, the 43-year-old has overseen 232 top-flight matches beginning with a 2008 meeting between Blackburn Rovers and Hull City.
The Warwickshire-native has worked his way up the English football pyramid, with almost 250 EFL league matches officiated throughout his career.
In their 23 matches refereed by Attwell, the Whites have won 12 and drawn three. The official’s last two visits to Elland Road have seen United defeat West Ham 2-1 in October and Sunderland by the same margin in the Sky Bet Championship in February.
The opposition, meanwhile, have 10 wins and seven draws in their 23 matches refereed by Attwell. He has overseen two matches for Arsenal this season, their EFL Cup quarter-final win against Crystal Palace and the 1-1 draw with Manchester City in the Premier League.
Keeping up with the action from Stockley Park is Video Assistant Referee Jarred Gillett and Additional VAR Steven Meredith.
