A referee is due to take charge of a match involving Watford for the first time when the Hornets bid to halt their bad home run tomorrow night.

It has been announced on the EFL website that Tom Nield is set to be in the middle for the visit of Swansea City to Vicarage Road.

Nield had initially been due to officiate in his first Watford fixture at the end of January when he was appointed for the trip to Sheffield Wednesday, but a change saw Rebecca Welch take charge of the 0-0 draw at Hillsborough.

Nield has refereed a total of 20 league and cup matches this season, issuing a total of 76 yellow cards and one red.

Mark Stevens and Carl Fitch-Jackson are due to be the assistant referees for the 7.45pm kick-off, with James Linington the fourth official.

The Hornets go into the game off the back of five defeats in their last six league outings, and seeking to avoid a fourth successive loss at Vicarage Road.

Swansea have two points lower down in the table but will travel to Hertfordshire buoyed by back-to-back victories.
