Match officials revealed for Hammers clash | OneFootball

The Magpies, who currently occupy sixth place in the Premier League, travel to the capital to face Graham Potter's Hammers at the London Stadium and this will be the first time Salisbury has officiated a fixture involving Eddie Howe's side this term.

The Lancashire whistler was the man in the middle for United's 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth during the 2023/24 campaign and handed out four yellow cards at St. James' Park that afternoon, booking Newcastle defender Fabian Schär.

The former PE teacher, promoted to the Select Group 1 of referees ahead of the 2021/22 season, has already handed out two red cards in the eight English top-flight matches he has taken charge of this season, sending off Crystal Palace's Daichi Kamada during the Eagles' 2-0 defeat against Fulham as well as AFC Bournemouth's Illia Zabarnyi during the Cherries' 1-0 loss at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers last month.
