Referee: Scott Duncan

Assistant Referees: Philip Dermott and Akil Howson

Fourth Official: Darren Bond

Northumberland-based referee Scott Duncan has been given the task of officiating this week's trip to Preston North End.

He first took charge of The Bees for a 2-0 defeat at Carlisle United in March 2013. Last season, he officiated our 2-0 win against Brighton and Hove Albion, as well as the draws at Derby County and Ipswich Town. Last season he was in charge of our 3-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, meaning we have won two and drawn six of his 12 games in charge.

So far this season, Duncan has awarded 22 yellow cards in the Sky Bet Championship but is yet to send someone off.
