Match officials revealed for Ipswich clash | OneFootball

The Magpies host the Tractor Boys at St. James' Park, bidding for a fifth consecutive league win on home soil, and this will be the second time Salisbury will officiate a fixture involving Eddie Howe's side this season.

The 40-year-old official was the man in the middle for Newcastle's 1-0 win away at West Ham United last month and handed out one yellow card during the Premier League clash at the London Stadium, booking Dan Burn.

The former PE teacher, promoted to the Select Group 1 of referees ahead of the 2021/22 season, also took charge of the Magpies' 2-2 draw at home to AFC Bournemouth last term, showing a total of four yellow cards at St. James' Park that afternoon, booking Fabian Schär.
