The officials for Saturday’s Premier League meeting with Tottenham Hotspur have been announced, with John Brooks set to take charge at Elland Road.

Saturday's fixture will be the first for the Whites that Brooks has overseen this campaign, having previously officiated our 1-1 draw away at Brentford in December last year.

This season, the Select Group referee has been in the middle for six Premier League clashes, most recently Everton's 1-0 win over Newcastle United, alongside appearances in both the UEFA Conference League and UEFA Europa League.

In total, Leeds have won and drawn twice apiece while Brooks has been in charge. During the 2019/20 EFL Championship-winning season, the Leicestershire-based referee was in the middle for a 1-1 draw against Luton Town, before the Whites went on to win six consecutive matches and subsequently lift the title.

In the 12 games he has officiated involving Tottenham, Saturday's visitors have won six, drawn three and lost three.

Running the touchlines will be Scott Ledger and Akil Howson, with Josh Smith appointed as Fourth Official. Keeping up with the action from Stockley Park will be VAR Tony Harrington and Additional VAR Matthew Wilkes.
