The officials have been confirmed for Chelsea’s Premier League clash against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening.
Chelsea host Erik ten Hag’s side in west London and will be looking to maintain their place in the top four.
Man United are only one point behind Chelsea, who currently occupy the final Champions League qualification spot, and victory over Graham Potter’s side would see them leapfrog the Blues into fourth place.

Both games between the sides last season ended in 1-1 draws so a draw, based on recent history, could be a likely outcome.
Chelsea haven’t conceded in their last five games in all competitions, nor have they lost (W5, D2) since Potter was appointed last month.
Now the officials for the league meeting have been revealed by the Premier League ahead of the encounter.

United visit Stamford Bridge sitting one point behind Chelsea, which will see them climb above the Blues should they take all three points on Saturday evening.
Potter is expecting a tough challenge but one he is relishing, telling reporters: "I have a huge respect for Ten Hag. They've done well, not a great start but they've battled back and played well. It's going to be a tough game.
"It's a game of football. You have to analyse the opponent, think of way you can play. They have some top players, they have galvanised into an impressive team. We are looking forward to it."
