Assistant Referees: Mark Scholes and Akil Howson

Tony Harrington has been confirmed as the referee for West Ham United's Premier League trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
One of the newest top-flight referees, who was promoted to Select Group One ahead of the 2021/22 season, Harrington takes the whistle for his first Hammers match at Molineux.
He refereed his first Premier League match in December 2021, and has gone on to take charge of 15 top flight matches in total.
He possesses plenty of EFL Championship experience, having refereed 189 matches from the 2013/14 campaign onwards, and was the man in the middle for two Wembley finals in the space of a week in May 2021.
First he officiated the FA Trophy final between Hereford and Hornchurch, then he returned for Blackpool's EFL League Two Play-Off final victory over Lincoln City.
Although he has never refereed a Hammers match, he acted as Video Assistant Referee for two of our matches last month - the 3-1 win at Everton and 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.
Harrington's assistants on Saturday will be Mark Scholes and Akil Howson.
Scholes will be an assistant referee at a West Ham United Premier League match for the fifth time this season. Scholes ran the line at London Stadium in the 2-0 win over Sheffield United and the away defeats to Liverpool, Aston Villa and Brentford. The experienced official has worked in the Premier League since the 2008/09 campaign.
Howson, meanwhile, was promoted to Select Group One in 2023 and was the first person of black, Asian or mixed heritage to be a permanent official in the English top flight in 15 years. He last performed assistant referee duties at a Hammers game in last month's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.
Saturday's fourth official is Darren England. He has refereed nine Premier League matches this season, including our 2-2 draw with Burnley in March.
Finally, the Video Assistant Referee is set to be Tim Robinson. He has fulfilled that role once before in a West Ham match, for our 2-0 loss at Nottingham Forest in February of this year.
