Stuart Attwell will referee Everton’s Premier League game against Ipswich Town at the Hill Dickinson on Saturday.
The 43-year-old has been appointed for the 3pm kick-off, with Wade Smith and Steve Meredith his assistants and Ruebyn Ricardo the fourth official. Andrew Kitchen will be on VAR duty, assisted by Josh Smith.
Stuart Attwell confirmed for Everton v Ipswich
Saturday will be Attwell’s third Premier League appointment of the season after he took charge of Newcastle United’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool in August and Brighton’s 1-1 draw with Leeds United earlier this month.
It will be his first Everton game of the campaign.
Attwell is one of the Premier League’s more experienced officials and has been refereeing in the top flight for several years. He is also no stranger to Everton games, despite the original data supplied for this piece suggesting neither the Blues nor Ipswich had played under him during the previous two seasons.
Everton turn attention back to Premier League
Everton go into Saturday’s game on the back of Wednesday night’s 1-0 Carabao Cup victory over Wolves, secured by Carlos Alcaraz’s 80th-minute winner.
Our recent player ratings highlighted Tyler Dibling and Alcaraz among those to emerge with credit from a game David Moyes’ side ultimately deserved to win.
That victory at Hill Dickinson Stadium followed last weekend’s goalless draw at Tottenham, where Everton defended well to leave North London with a point.
Moyes has spoken openly about wanting his side to challenge higher up the Premier League, with the manager’s European ambitions providing the wider backdrop to the early weeks of the campaign.
For now, the immediate task is Ipswich and another opportunity to build on Everton’s start to the season. Attwell will be the man in the middle at the Hill Dickinson, with Kitchen overseeing VAR.
