BREAKING NEWS:Sunderland Vs Sheffield United Championship Kick-off time has been reschedule few minutes ago….
The EFL have confirmed that Gavin Ward will be the referee for Sunderland’s highly anticipated trip to face Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.
Surrey based Ward officiated his first EFL game on 16 August 2008 and has gone on to be a referee for over 200 Championship, League One and League Two games in an impressive 16-year career.
Experienced Championship official Gavin Ward will take charge of Sheffield United’s home clash with Sunderland at Bramall Lane on Friday night. The Championship rivals are set to meet under the lights in South Yorkshire with just two points between the clubs after 17 games.
The Blades beat Oxford United in midweek while Sunderland were held to a 0-0 draw at home to West Brom. Leeds United occupy top spot, but are only ahead of Chris Wilder’s men on goal difference. Burnley and Sunderland are two points behind the top two and sit third and fourth respectively. Victory for either side at Bramall Lane will send them top of the table ahead of the weekend while a draw will be enough to put the Blades top before Leeds or Burnley play.
