West Ham United's trip to Burnley will be officiated by referee Darren England.
The 40-year-old will be in charge of the relegation six-pointer at Turf Moor on Saturday with both teams desperate for three points that could help them in their respective battles against the drop.England most recently took charge of West Ham's 2-0 home defeat against Liverpool back in November, during which he dismissed Lucas Paqueta. Prior to that, he had overseen the 3-2 defeat Wolves in the Carabao Cup in September.
England will be joined at Burnley by assistants Scott Ledger and Akil Howson, with Andrew Kitchen taking fourth official duties. The VAR team will be led by Chris Kavanagh, who will be assisted by James Mainwaring.
Next Tuesday, West Ham's meeting with Manchester United in Stratford will be overseen by Simon Hooper, who has taken charge of West Ham on just the one occasion so far this season - for the 1-1 draw at Brighton when the Hammers controversially conceded an equaliser in the closing moments.
Hooper's assistants on Tuesday at the London Olympic Stadium will be assistants Adrian Holmes and Simon Long, fourth official Tim Robinson plus the VAR team of Craig Pawson and assistant Dan Robathan.
