Craig Pawson is listed to referee Aston Villa’s Premier League return against Brentford at Villa Park on Saturday.
FotMob’s match listing names Pawson as the official for the 3pm kick-off, with Unai Emery’s side seeking their first home league victory of the season.
Villa lost their opening two Premier League matches at Villa Park against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest. Their 3-2 victory at Tottenham before the international break delivered a first league win of the campaign.
Saturday offers the opportunity to build on that result, although Brentford arrive unbeaten after five league matches.
