In a change to the advertised referee for Tuesday`s game, Neil Swarbrick will now be the man in charge for the Leeds v Grimsby Johnstone`s Paint Trophy tie.

Andy Penn was the original referee appointed for the fixture and took charge of the Wealdstone v Rotherham FA Cup tie on Sunday.

The Lancashire official has taken charge of 15 games already this season and shown 33 yellow cards and 1 red.

Last season he took charge of 36 games showing 82 yellow cards and 4 reds.

He`s already taken charge of a Leeds cup game this season on the TV when he officiated the sides 1-0 win at Darlington in the Carling Cup early in the season.

He was in charge of Leeds twice last season, the embarrassing cup exit at Histon and Leeds 2-0 home win over MK Dons.

The last time he took charge of a Grimsby game was early last season when they lost 1-0 at home against Chesterfield.

Referee: Neil Swarbrick (Lancashire)
Assistants: P.R Marsden & A.J Scregg
Fourth official: J Waugh
