Albion have been told who will referee their game at Huddersfield – and the derby at home to Crystal Palace.

Michael Oliver will be in the middle for the trip to the John Smith’s Stadium.

Then it is Kevin Friend in control when Palace visit the Amex on Tuesday.

Oliver, from Northumberland, has not refereed the Seagulls since New Year's Day and the 2-2 draw at home to Bournemouth, although he shook hands with Gaetan Bong recently when he was in the middle for Cameroon's friendly against Brazil.

He averages three yellow cards per game this season and his recent dismissal of West Ham's Mark Noble for a bad tackle at Leicester was his third red of the campaign.

Leicestershire-based Friend makes his third visit of the season to the Amex already.

He was in charge for Albion wins over Manchester United and West Ham.

Friend, who has not sent off a player for 14 months, will be in charge of Southampton v Manchester United on Saturday evening before turning attention to his trip to the Amex.
