|

The Premier League have now announced the Match Day officials that will take charge of the game between West Bromwich Albion and Leicester City this Saturday.

West Bromwich Albion host Leicester City on Saturday March 10 for the game at The Hawthorns and the match carries a 3pm kick off.

Referee: Bobby Madley
Assistant Refs: Marc Perry and Mick McDonough
Fourth Official: Neil Swarbrick

Match Day referee Madley has officiated 24 games in 2017/18 showing 85 yellow cards and five red cards so far.

He took in 35 games in 2016/17 with a return of 146 yellow cards and four red cards.

That season his highest card count was eight yellows between Tottenham and Liverpool in August. He also showed seven yellows and one red in the match between Southend United and Scunthorpe United.

He took in 35 matches in 2015-16 and in those games, across all competitions and football divisions, he handed out a total of 96 yellow cards and six red cards.

He was most card happy in the match between Chelsea and West Ham in March with eight yellows being shown, prior to that Chelsea and Southampton in October saw seven yellows.

Let`s hope it`s not another repeat and more of the players edge closer to automatic bans.
