John Busby is set to be in charge tomorrow as Watford seek to bounce back from their dreadful display at Blackburn Rovers when they take on Sunderland at Vicarage Road.

The referee has officiated nine games this season, four of which have been in the Championship, and he has shown a total of 36 yellow cards and two reds.

A long-serving assistant referee, Busby was appointed to the Select Group 2 list for the 2021/22 season and this will be the first time he has been in charge of a fixture involving the Hornets.

Mark Russell and Robert Smith are due to be on the line, with Andy Woolmer the fourth official.
