A familiar face will be in charge when Watford seek their third consecutive league victory at the start of 2023 against Rotherham United on Saturday.

David Webb has been appointed as the referee for the game, meaning it will be the fourth time he will officiate a Hornets fixture this season.

Watford have yet to win with Webb in the middle in this campaign, but this will be the first time he has refereed at Vicarage Road.

The Lancashire official was previously in charge of the 1-1 draw at Birmingham City in August, the dreadful 3-0 defeat at Millwall in October and the goalless draw at Bristol City the following month.

Webb has officiated 23 league and cup fixtures this season, showing a total of 74 yellow cards and five reds.

He is due to be assisted by Lee Venamore and George Byrne, with David Rock on fourth official duties.
