Premier League appoint Tim Robinson for Leeds United vs Wolves | OneFootball

Tim Robinson will referee Leeds United’s Premier League meeting with Wolves at Elland Road on Saturday, the Premier League confirmed.

Leeds return home after a historic 2-1 win at Manchester United on Monday. Noah Okafor’s first-half brace sealed a first league victory at Old Trafford since 1981.

That result moved Daniel Farke’s side six points clear of Tottenham in 18th, with the chance to go nine ahead before Spurs host Brighton later on Saturday. Wolves could be officially relegated this weekend and lost 4-0 at West Ham in their most recent outing, a 16th away game without a win.

Robinson will be assisted by Lee Betts and Mat Wilkes. Lewis Smith is fourth official and Nick Hopton is on VAR.

Across 2025/26 he has refereed nine Premier League games and seven in the Championship. In the top flight he averages 22.89 fouls and four yellow cards per match, slightly stricter than his colleagues.

One of those top-flight assignments was Leeds’ 2-0 defeat at Burnley in October. Injuries left Jack Harrison and Brenden Aaronson as the only available wide options, and chances were scarce against Scott Parker’s men.

He has also overseen two Wolves matches this season, both bottom-of-the-table meetings with Nottingham Forest.

Leeds will hope for a controversy-free afternoon and the chance to impose themselves on virtually-relegated Wolves. Home form has largely been excellent, recent blip aside, but they must back up Monday’s performance. Wolves and Burnley at Elland Road are viewed as opportunities to pull clear of serious relegation trouble, though neither fixture looks straightforward.
