**Assistants**: Simon Bennett and Dan Robathan
**Fourth Official:** Tim Robinson
**VAR:** Andy Madley
**Assistant VAR:** Steve Meredith
**John Brooks** has been confirmed as the referee for West Ham United’s home match against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday.
The Leicestershire-born official was promoted to Select Group One in June 2021 and refereed his first Premier League match in December of the same year.
He has held the whistle during six top-flight matches this season, and last refereed a West Ham fixture when we were defeated 3-1 away at Manchester City in May 2024, while he also oversaw the 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur at London Stadium in April.
Besides his domestic duties, he also refereed last term’s UEFA Youth League final, won by Olympiacos, and has featured in the UEFA Europa League, UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying and on the international scene.
Brooks will be assisted by **Simon Bennett** and **Dan Robathan** on Monday.
Bennett, a 39-year-old from Staffordshire, is an experienced assistant who worked at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. He is also a regular for UEFA, assisting in Champions League and other European fixtures, and has worked across eleven Premier League matches so far this campaign.
Fellow assistant Robathan, meanwhile, is also a well-versed official who has worked in the Premier League since 2018. He was an assistant referee at a West Ham United Premier League match three times last season and ran the line at London Stadium in the 2-1 win over Manchester United in October.
**Tim Robinson** will undertake fourth official duties at London Stadium.
One of the Premier League’s newest regular officials, Robinson was the referee of a West Ham Premier League game for just the second time against Fulham at Craven Cottage in September, having taken charge of the Hammers’ draw with AFC Bournemouth in February.
Video Assistant Referee responsibilities will be overseen by **Andy Madley**. The 41-year-old was the man in the middle for West Ham’s London derby defeat at Tottenham Hotspur in October, where a pitchside VAR review led to a red card for Mohammed Kudus.
