The referee for Watford's game against Brentford this Friday will be Michael Oliver.
The official has not been in charge of a Hornets' match since the 4-0 defeat to Manchester City in the 2019/20 season, when they were relegated to the Championship.
That season Oliver officiated four other matches involving Watford, including the 2-1 defeat away at Southampton that ended up being Quique Sanchez Flores' final game of his second spell at the club.
The referee also oversaw a 0-0 draw at home against Spurs, the 3-0 win over Liverpool and the 3-1 home defeat to Southampton.
Of the 21 matches he has been in charge of this season, Oliver has issued four red cards.
On Friday he will be assisted by Stuart Burt and Simon Bennett. Fourth official on the night will be Mike Dean.
VAR will be Jarred Gillett, he will be assistant by Dan Cook.
