THE MATCH
Leeds United v Brentford, Sky Bet Championship, Elland Road, February 7 2015
THE OFFICIALS
Referee: Graham Salisbury
Assistants: Philip Dermott and Ryan Johnson
Fourth Official: Eddie Ilderton
Mr Salisbury is one of the most experience referees on the circuit.
He has been refereeing since 1985 and taking charge of Football League games since the start of the 2001/02 season.
He has, however, not been in charge of many Brentford games, only nine in total, and The Bees have not been successful when he has had the whistle.
The first of those was a 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town in November 2001, where Brentford secured a point thanks to a last-gasp Ben Burgess goal.
That goal was the only one scored by Brentford in games Mr Salisbury took charge of for nearly 13 years.
They lost at Port Vale in March 2003 and December 2006 and at home to Swindon Town in December 2003 with him on the whistle.
There have also been two 0-0 draws – at Doncaster Rovers in March 2005 and at Hartlepool United in October 2009.
He also took charge of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy Final against Carlisle United at Wembley in April 2011.
The Bees ended their poor run with Mr Salisbury in charge when they beat Coventry City 2-0 away from home in September 2013 but it started again earlier this year.
He took charge of Brentford’s defeat at Watford, awarding a soft penalty to the hosts that set them on the way to a 2-1 win.
THE KIT
Brentford will be in their yellow shirts.
THE MILESTONES
Toumani Diagouraga is set to play his 200th Brentford match and the 350th game of his career so far.
Jake Bidwell is also closing in on a landmark and should play the 149th game of his career at Elland Road; it will be his 148th match for The Bees.
Sam Saunders could play his 197th Football League match but injury is likely to prevent Alan Judge making his 49th Brentford appearance.
