Man in the Middle: Mike Dean

Mike Dean will take charge of Swansea City’s Premier League fixture against West Bromwich Albion at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday (3pm).

Dean, from the Wirral, will be the man in the middle for a Swans game for the third time this season.

The 49-year-old also took charge of the Swans’ 1-0 loss to Brighton last month and the goalless draw at Spurs.

He also refereed the Swans’ 2-1 win over West Brom at the Liberty on the final day of the 2016-17 season.

Dean has refereed 439 matches in the top flight, issuing 1,577 bookings and 88 red cards. A vastly experienced official, he has also refereed in European club competitions and at international level.

He will be assisted on Saturday by Simon Long and Daniel Cook, while John Brooks is the fourth official.
