Stuart Attwell to referee Brighton v Leeds at the Amex | OneFootball

Stuart Attwell will take charge of Brighton v Leeds at the Amex, his first appointment there in 19 months, according to TheArgus.co.uk.

The West Midlands referee has his third appointment of the season, having already overseen matches at Qarabag and Newcastle.

Albion fans last saw him at the Amex when Aston Villa won 3-0 in April last year. He did not visit the stadium as a referee last season.

He handled the 2-2 draw at Spurs and trips to Liverpool in the FA Cup and Everton. His association with Albion stretches back to a League One match at Withdean in November 2007. He is among the Premier League’s most experienced officials.

Video assistant duties from Stockley Park will be handled by James Bell. Elsewhere, Chris Kavanagh will referee Arsenal v Chelsea this weekend.

Match officials for Albion v Leeds: Referee, Stuart Attwell. Assistant referees, Constantine Hatzidakis and Nicholas Hopton. Fourth official, John Busby. VAR, James Bell. VAR assistant, Edward Smart.
