CHRIS Kavanagh has been announced as the referee for Albion's trip to the London Stadium.

Graham Potter's side will take on West Ham United on Wednesday evening and will be hoping to end their run of eight games without a win in the Premier League.

Albion will be hoping for a similar performance to the one that they put in against Leeds on Saturday, but with a bit more clinical finishing in front of goal.

West Ham, however, will be hoping to keep their spot in the top four after losing their last two games in the Premier League.

The man in the middle for the game will be Chris Kavanagh. He has officiated 15 Albion games in all competitions since 2016.

Albion have won five of these games, including the most recent game that he was in charge of against Leeds last season. The Seagulls have drawn three and lost the other seven matches.

Kavanagh also took charge of the match between Albion and West Ham at the London Stadium in 2019 that ended 2-2.

Albion were winning the game 2-0 in the 58th minute thanks to goals from Dale Stephans and Shane Duffy, but they were denied victory due to a brace from former Hammer Marko Arnautovic.

Kavanagh will be assisted by Dan Cook and Dan Robathan. The fourth official for the match is Andre Marriner, and the VAR will be taken charge of by Jarred Gillett, his assistant is Neil Davies.
