The match officials for Leeds United’s Sky Bet Championship clash with Stoke City on Easter Monday have been announced, with Darren Bond set to take charge at Elland Road.

The experienced Lancashire-born referee has officiated 13 Premier League encounters so far this campaign, as well as multiple matches in the second tier and domestic cup competitions.

The Whites have a strong record in matches overseen by Bond, winning eight of 14 and drawing on two occasions.

The official has featured in this exact fixture before where, towards the end of the 2019/20 season, United dominated at Elland Road to run out 5-0 winners.

Stoke, meanwhile, have struggled for form when the referee has been in the middle, winning just three of 13 matches and losing out on seven occasions.

In their most recent fixture overseen by Bond, the Potters were held to a 2-2 draw with Huddersfield Town last campaign.
