Assistant Referees: Neil Davies and Derek Eaton
Fourth Official: Adam Herczeg

Jarred Gillett has been confirmed as the referee for West Ham United’s Premier League fixture at Manchester United.
The 38-year-old was promoted to the Select Group referees list ahead of the 2021/22 season, after establishing himself in his native Australia and joining Select Group 2 in England in 2019.
Gillett, who has officiated over 150 games in English football, including five Hammers fixtures, became the first person born outside of the British Isles to referee a Premier League clash when taking charge of Newcastle United’s 1-1 draw away at Watford during the 2021/22 campaign.
This season has seen him referee in the English top flight on 14 occasions, as well as once in UEFA Champions League qualifying in July 2024 and in the 2024 FA Community Shield final between the Red Devils and Manchester City at Wembley in August.
Elsewhere, Gillett has also served as the Video Assistant Referee on 51 occasions in all competitions, including in the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Europa Conference League, Nations League and the Premier League. He recently undertook VAR duties in West Ham’s 2-2 draw with AFC Bournemouth in April, while he also worked the same role in our 3-1 defeat at Leicester City in December 2024.
Gillett will be assisted by Neil Davies and Derek Eaton.
Both possess extensive experience in the Premier League, having officiated almost 200 such fixtures apiece, while Davies and Eaton have worked at 25 and ten matches, respectively, in the division so far this season.
Davies has featured as an assistant referee at a West Ham Premier League match on two previous occasions this term, against Crystal Palace and Brighton & Hove Albion, while fellow flagman Eaton ran the line during our away game at Manchester City on 4 January.
Video Assistant Referee responsibilities will be overseen by Andy Madley on Sunday.
The 41-year-old was the man in the middle for West Ham’s narrow Liverpool defeat at Anfield in April, having previously overseen VAR duties in our 2-1 home win against Wolverhampton Wanderers in December. He will be assisted at Old Trafford by Craig Taylor.
