Man in the middle: Robert Madley

Robert Madley will take charge of the Swans’ fourth round Carabao Cup tie against Manchester United at the Liberty on Tuesday (7.45pm).

Madley, from West Yorkshire, will be the man in the middle at Swansea for the first time this season.

The 32-year-old was the 4th official for the Swans’ 1-0 defeat against Newcastle at the Liberty in September.

The last Swans game he refereed was the 0-0 draw against Middlesbrough back in April.

Madley has refereed 77 Premier League games and 10 Carabao Cup fixtures since 2013.

He will be assisted on Tuesday by Eddie Smart and Simon Bennett, with Roger East the 4th official.
