Watford's first game back in the Premier League against Aston Villa this Saturday will be refereed by Mike Dean.
The Hornets haven't had Dean in charge for one of their matches since their last stint in the top flight, when he was in the middle for the game that confirmed their relegation away at Arsenal.
The official also refereed their 8-0 defeat at Manchester City, their 0-0 home draw against Bournemouth, their 3-0 win in the away leg and their 1-0 defeat at Burnley in the same season.
He will be assisted this weekend by Darren Cann and Mark Scholes. Fourth official will be Robert Jones, while Peter Bankes and Stuart Burt will be on VAR and assistant VAR duties.
