THE Premier League have announced that David Coote will be the referee for Albion's match against Brentford.
The game between the two sides is due to be played on Boxing Day, as long as there are no more issues with Covid-19 in either squad.

Before that Coote took charge of Albion in their 2-1 defeat to Southampton at the Amex on December 7 last year, where he part of a controversial penalty decision.
Initially, Coote had given a free-kick for the foul on Kyle Walker-Peters by Solly March.

Coote will be assisted by Stuart Burt and Nick Hopton. The fourth official will be Craig Pawson and in charge of VAR is Jarred Gillett, his assistant is Sian Massey-Ellis.
