Stuart Attwell has been named as the referee for Watford's game against Leicester City at Vicarage Road this weekend.

Attwell, famous for awarding Reading's 'ghost goal' in a Championship game back in September 2008, has only taken charge of three Hornets' fixtures since, one of which was last season, the other two were back in 2014.

The official was in charge of the 2-1 defeat away at Manchester United last season, his first game involving Watford since he refereed a 1-1 draw at home to Burnley in the 2013/2014 season and a 4-2 away win at Cardiff in the following campaign.

He is also yet to referee a Leicester game this season.

Assisting Attwell will be Harry Lennard and Darren Cann, while Graham Scott will be fourth official.

Andre Marriner will be on Video Assistant Referee duties, with Andy Halliday assisting him.
