He booked Farke for celebrating a 95th-minute Leeds winner against their then Championship title rivals Sunderland last season. As it was Farke\u2019s third caution of the campaign, he was subsequently suspended for the clash against Sheffield United. As for Nuno, he was fined \u00a340,000 after he slammed Attwell\u2019s performance in Nottingham Forest\u2019s 2-0 defeat to Everton in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, we take a closer look at Attwell\u2019s record officiating matches involving Leeds and West Ham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/match-preview-leeds-vs-west-ham-24-10-25-premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leeds United vs West Ham United: predictions, stats, tips &amp; odds<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Quick Links<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-stuart-attwell-s-leeds-record\" data-level=\"2\">Stuart Attwell\u2019s Leeds Record<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-stuart-attwell-s-west-ham-record\" data-level=\"2\">Stuart Attwell\u2019s West Ham Record<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-what-can-we-expect-on-friday-night\" data-level=\"2\">What can we expect on Friday night?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stuart-attwell-s-leeds-record\"><strong>Stuart Attwell\u2019s Leeds Record<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Category<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Total<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Matches<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">22<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Wins<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">11<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Draws<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Defeats<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">League Points<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">35<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Penalties Per Game<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Yellow Cards Per Game<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1.95<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Reds Per Game<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0.09<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Leeds have won half of their 22 matches with Attwell as the man in the middle, losing eight and drawing three times.

Attwell officiated two of their games last season: a 0-0 home draw against Everton and a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The club\u2019s most recent victory with Attwell officiating came in early 2023: a 2-0 home win against the Toffees. Interestingly, five of their last 11 matches under Attwell have been against the blue side of Merseyside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-can-we-expect-on-friday-night\"><strong>What can we expect on Friday night?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stuart Attwell\u2019s average of five yellow cards per league game this season is the highest among all Premier League referees, highlighting his willingness to dish out the cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While he hasn\u2019t issued a red card yet this term, he has already awarded two penalties in just five league matches, which is something to keep in mind ahead of the meeting at Elland Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Leeds and West Ham have received just 11 yellow cards each across eight games this season, placing them among the teams with the fewest cautions, although West Ham have seen a player sent off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may well be the managers under extra scrutiny on Friday, given their previous encounters with Attwell.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/premier-league\/\"><strong>Premier League predictions &amp; tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/premier-league-title-odds\/\"><strong>Premier League outright odds <\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stuart Attwell will referee Friday night\u2019s Premier League gameweek 9 opener between Leeds and West Ham at Elland Road.
