The match officials for Leeds United’s Sky Bet Championship clash with Watford on Tuesday have been announced, with Oliver Langford set to take charge at Vicarage Road.

The experienced official is now in his 15th season in the EFL, having made 297 appearances in the Sky Bet Championship.

The Whites have won 11 times in 24 matches when the West Midlands-based official has been in the middle, with Langford most recently taking charge of United’s 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers on New Year’s Day.

After the season’s curtain raiser when Daniel Farke’s side faced Portsmouth, the official has gone on to referee 18 further times in the second-tier, as well featuring in the EFL Cup and Emirates FA Cup.

Watford, meanwhile, have won six of their 13 matches which Langford has overseen and lost on four occasions. Most recently, the Hornets were held to a 1-1 draw away against Cardiff City.
