The EFL have confirmed that Oliver Langford will be the man in the middle when Derby County take on Leeds United at Pride Park Stadium on Sunday in their latest
behind-closed-doors fixture in the Sky Bet Championship (2pm
kick-off).
Langford has overseen 32 games during the 2019/20 season and produced a total of 127 yellow cards and six reds.
The official took charge of the league fixture between the two clubs earlier in the season as Chris Martin came off the bench to earn Derby a late 1-1 draw at Elland Road.
He also took charge of the Rams' 2-0 home win over Middlesbrough in November, with Tom Lawrence scoring both goals for Phillip Cocu's side against ten-man Boro after George Saville was sent off for a late challenge on Krystian Bielik in the first half.
Langford's last
match in charge of Derby was back in November when Phillip Cocu's side were beaten 1-0 at Blackburn Rovers, whilst his last fixture at Pride Park Stadium was the 0-0 draw against Stoke City in March 2019.
Langford will be assisted by Matthew McGrath and Michael George on the lines, whilst Dean Whitestone has been appointed as the fourth official.
