Men in the middle

M Dean and C Oliver came in for some criticism in the past two games, so let's hope Mr Whitestone has a better performance.

D A McAllum and S J Ross will be his linesmen while D R Street will take the fourth official role.

Meanwhile Rob Styles who has been one of the most hated referees at the Lane, will take charge of our encounter with Bristol City next Tuesday. He gave the penalty away at Bramall Lane when Steven Gerrard was allegedly tripped over by Chris Morgan in the Blades first Premiership game of the season. Replays showed that the England International dived.

A blatant penalty should've been given when Rob was in charge at old Trafford when Luton Shelton got unfairly tackled.

Rob has been demoted a league due to his poor refereeing performance at the Newcastle vs Tottenham game last Monday.
