Atkinson In Charge For Baggies Showdown

Match officials information for Saturday’s visit of West Brom

MARTIN ATKINSON will referee Stoke City’s Premier League clash with West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

It’ll be his sixth game of the season having most recently officiated Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last Friday.

He oversaw three Stoke games last term – all at home – with a win, a draw and a loss stemming from them.

Watford left the Potteries with a 2-0 victory in October before Manchester City were overturned by the same scoreline in December. Stoke and Swansea City then played out a 2-2 draw last April.

Atkinson bossed four West Brom games last term, meanwhile, with victories at Aston Villa and Sunderland at home followed by a draw at West Ham United and a defeat at Southampton.

This weekend, he’ll be assisted by Steve Child and Adam Nunn, with Roger East the fourth official.
