Assistant Referees: Neil Davies and Steve Meredith

Jarred Gillett has been confirmed as the referee for West Ham United’s second successive home London derby against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
The 38-year-old has been a part of Professional Game Match Officials Limited’s (PGMOL) Select Group 1 since the start of the 2021/22 season, after establishing himself in his native Australia and joining Select Group 2 in England in 2019.
He has 65 Premier League games under his belt, including six Hammers fixtures. One of those came last season, when Tomáš Souček and Jarrod Bowen goals powered Graham Potter’s men to a 2-0 victory away at Manchester United in May 2025.
So far this term Gillett has refereed in the English top flight on two occasions, during Manchester City’s 4-0 triumph at Wolves on the opening weekend and then Arsenal’s 5-0 home thrashing of Leeds a week later.
Besides his work in the Premier League, he took charge of the 2021/22 EFL League Two Play-Off final and the 2024 FA Community Shield, won by Port Vale and Manchester City respectively, while on the international stage he oversaw Greece’s 5-1 win over Belarus in FIFA World Cup qualifying earlier this month.
Neil Davies and Steve Meredith will serve as the assistant referees at London Stadium.
Davies has run the line in the Premier League on 189 occasions, including alongside Gillett during the Irons’ aforementioned triumph at Old Trafford. In total he has assisted at 21 West Ham games, including the 1-0 win over Tottenham in October 2021.
Meredith, meanwhile, is vastly experienced in the EFL, having worked at over 230 Championship matches. Eleven of his 74 outings in the top tier have involved the Hammers, including the 3-1 win at Ipswich on the final day of 2024/25.
Rob Jones will be the fourth official this weekend.
The 38-year-old Merseysider refereed West Ham’s opening-day defeat at Sunderland last month, while he has also held the whistle in the EFL Cup, Championship and UEFA Champions League qualifying already in 2025/26. In addition, he was the fourth official during Portugal’s 5-0 World Cup qualifying win at Armenia last weekend.
Video Assistant Referee responsibilities will be overseen by John Brooks, who has refereed 61 matches in the Premier League. He will be assisted by Natalie Aspinall.
