The match officials for Leeds United’s Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon have been announced, with Michael Oliver set to take charge at the Amex.
The vastly experienced referee has enjoyed another busy start to the campaign, being in the middle of 13 encounters, five of which coming in the UEFA Champions League which included a meeting between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
The 40-year-old has already taken charge of one Whites fixture so far this term, officiating the 2-2 draw with AFC Bournemouth in September.
That result was just the fourth time honours have been even in Oliver’s 17 games to involve United, with Leeds winning five.
Brighton, meanwhile, have struggled for form in their 21 fixtures overseen by the referee, winning just five times and losing on eight occasions.
The Seagulls have won their previous two however, most recently beating Wolverhampton Wanderers away from home towards the end of last campaign.
Keeping up with the action from Stockley Park is Video Assistant Referee Neil Davies and Additional VAR Mark Scholes.
