Kevin Friend has been appointed as the Match Referee for Derby County's Sky Bet Championship fixture at Barnsley on Wednesday night (7:45pm kick-off).


Friend has overseen eight games so far this season in all competitions, showing 27 yellow cards and no reds.

The Premier League official last oversaw a Derby game back in September as the Rams drew 0-0 at West Bromwich Albion.

Friend will be assisted by Edward Smart and Simon Beck on the lines, whilst Matthew Donohue has been appointed as the fourth official.
