Harrington has officiated seven games so far this season, dishing out 27 yellow cards and one red.
What history does he have with Burnley?
He refereed last season’s East Lancashire derby at Turf Moor, where he sent off Blackburn Rovers striker Makhtar Gueye.
He also dished out a remarkable 11 yellow cards in total as Scott Parker’s side were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw against their neighbours.
He was also the man in the middle for Burnley’s 2-1 home win against Norwich City in April.
Who is on VAR duty?
The man in the VAR booth will be Tim Robinson, who is involved in a Burnley game for the second consecutive week having taken charge of last week’s 2-0 win against Leeds United.
He will be assisted by Neil Davies.
Richard West and Blake Antrobus will be on linesman duty, while Anthony Backhouse is down to be the fourth official.
