Keith Stroud is the man in charge of the Yorkshire derby between Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday.
The Hampshire official has taken charge of 27 games this season showing 115 yellow cards and 7 reds.
Stroud has taken charge of Leeds twice previously this season including the recent 2-2 draw at Derby County.
He infuriated Leeds fans earlier in the season when he awarded a penalty against Luke Ayling in the 2-1 home win against Middlesbrough. Ayling tangled with Daniel Ayala after being thrown to the floor by the Middlesbrough defender but Ayling was the punished for grabbing Ayala.
Last season he was in charge of the 1-0 defeat at Reading but he failed to punish Reading defender Tyler Blackett for a forearm smash on Leeds striker Chris Wood.
His last game in charge of Sheffield Wednesday was their 2-2 draw at Ipswich Town in November.
Referee: KEITH STROUD (Hampshire)
Assistants: James Mainwaring and Billy Smallwood
