Man in the middle | Peter Bankes

7th December
First team

Peter Bankes will be the man in the middle when Swansea City host Bournemouth at the Liberty Stadium on Tuesday night.

The Lancashire official will be taking charge of the Swans for the first time this season, having overseen four games last season.

That quartet of games was made up of the home and away wins over Charlton, the victory at Wigan and the draw at Blackburn.

Bankes is in his seventh season refereeing in the Championship, while he has also regularly taken charge of Premier League fixtures over the last 18 months.

He will be assisted by Marc Perry and James Mainwaring, while Lee Swabey will be the fourth official.
