Australian Jarred Gillett is in his fifth season of being a Premier League referee and he’ll be in charge of the London Derby between West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur at the London Stadium on Saturday.
Gillett began his refereeing career in his native Australia and oversaw over 150 games in the country’s top men’s competition, the A-League, before making the move to Europe.
The 38-year-old took charge of his first games in the UK in the 2018/19 season and became part of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited’s (PGMOL) Select Group 1 ahead of the 2021/22 season, allowing him to take charge of fixtures in the Premier League.
This is Gillett’s first experience of taking charge of a clash between West Ham and Tottenham but he has overseen games involving these sides previously.
He has refereed West Ham on six occasions, including a 2-0 victory away at Manchester United last season, and he has been in charge of 10 Tottenham fixtures.
West Ham lost their opening two Premier League games and were also dumped out of the EFL Cup by Wolves but they did claim a first win last time out with a 3-0 victory at Nottingham Forest.
Spurs made an exceptional start with wins and clean sheets against Burnley and Manchester City, but slipped to a 1-0 loss at home to Bournemouth last time out.

Notable performances
West Ham fans will have fond memories of the last time Gillett oversaw one of their games.
The Australian was the man in the middle at Old Trafford in May when goals from Tomáš Souček and Jarrod Bowen saw the Hammers claim a first league victory at Manchester United since 2007.
Gillett has more experience refereeing Spurs games and the most notable game with him in charge perhaps came in a 4-2 loss at Brighton in 2023, where he awarded two penalties to the Seagulls.
Previous results
Gillett has taken charge of two games in the Premier League this season and awarded one penalty.
The Gold Coast native oversaw Arsenal’s 5-0 win over Leeds in the opening round of games and was also in charge of Manchester City’s 4-0 win at Wolves.
His last Spurs game was a 1-0 home defeat to City last season and he took charge of three of their fixtures in the league in 2024/25, including a 1-0 home loss in a North London derby with Arsenal.
