Watford will be aiming for the same three-point outcome as last time when a referee returns to Vicarage Road to take charge of a Hornets fixture for the second time this season on Saturday.
Keith Stroud has been named as the man in the middle as Valerien Ismael’s men go in search of a third consecutive victory when they face Millwall in the 3pm kick-off.
The Hampshire official’s previous visit came last month when late goals from Mileta Rajovic and Ryan Andrews’ first in professional football saw Watford beat Birmingham City 2-0.
Stroud sent off Birmingham’s Lee Buchanan for two yellow cards shortly before the Hornets made the breakthrough.
That remains the only red card Stroud has shown this season, but he has also brandished the yellow 49 times in his nine league and cup fixtures to date.
Craig Taylor and Jonathan Hunt are due to be the assistant referees for the game, with Peter Wright the fourth official.
