Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham face off in the Premier League on Saturday at 8pm, with Stuart Attwell set to referee.
Attwell is one of the more-used referees in the Premier League this season, with eight games in the middle so far. He is yet to referee either of these sides this season, though, despite officiating every other London club.
Tottenham will be looking to bounce back from their humbling north London derby defeat last week, which leaves them ninth. Fulham, meanwhile, remain 15th despite their win last weekend.

What happened when Stuart Attwell last refereed Tottenham?
Attwell was the referee for Tottenham’s 1-0 win over Liverpool in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final last season. There was a bit of controversy about Tottenham’s winner, though, scored by Lucas Bergvall. Liverpool fans felt that Attwell had missed a second yellow card for a foul by Bergvall on Kostas Tsimikas just a few moments earlier. Tsimikas hadn’t yet returned to the pitch after receiving treatment on the sidelines for the foul. Attwell also became the first referee in England to make a stadium announcement for a VAR decision, in ruling out a late Dominic Solanke goal.
