PREMIER LEAGUE RECALL FOR ATTWELL

IT’S back to Premier League action this weekend for Stuart Attwell after an absence of more than two years from top-flight football.

Attwell, who was 32 earlier this month, was demoted from the Select Group in February two years ago  after a series of lapses, but he has been recalled after impressing this season with his performances at Championship level.

On Saturday (November 1), he takes the match between Leicester City and WBA.

Attwell, from Nuneaton, will have the support and encouragement of the highly experienced Phil Dowd as fourth official.

Dowd, meanwhile, will be taking Monday night’s match between Premier League strugglers Crystal Palace and Sunderland.

Other referee appointments for this weekend’s matches are as follows:

SATURDAY

Andre Marriner: Newcastle v Liverpool

Craig Pawson: Arsenal v Burnley

Mike Jones: Chelsea v QPR

Kevin Friend: Everton v Swansea

Martin Atkinson: Hull v Southampton

Chris Foy: Stoke v West Ham

SUNDAY

Michael Oliver: Man City v Man Utd

Neil Swarbrick: Aston Villa v Spurs
