Norwich vs Watford kicks off at 3pm this Saturday in the Premier League - and the game will be officiated by Robert Jones.

Here are the match officials in full for the fixture. 

Referee: Robert Jones

Merseyside-based Robert Jones has refereeing for ten years. He began working in the National League in 2014, stepping up to the Football League in 2014. 

One of the more inexperienced refs at the top level of English football, Jones had only refereed 11 matches at the time of the 2021/22 season kicking off, having dished out 28 yellow cards and two reds in that time.

Assistants: Scott Ledger, Derek Eaton

Former soldier Scott Ledger first ran the line in the Football League in 2009 and as of the end of the 2020/21 season, he had racked up 390 appearances in the Premier League. He was assistant referee for the 2013 Community Shield.

Derek Eaten is from Gloucestershire and has officiated over 150 Premier League. He first joined the top tier in 2013/14 after refereeing at Football League level since 2010.  

Fourth Official: Tim Robinson

Tim Robinson referees mainly in the English Championship and is in the Select 2 Group match officials. In December 2019, he officiated his first Premier League game, Burnley vs Newcastle, which ended in a 1-0 win for the hosts.

VAR: Graham Scott

Graham Scott of Oxford was promoted to the Select Group of Referees in 2015. He started officiating in 1997.

Scott was almost demoted by the PGMOL in 2017 after reffing just eight Premier League games all season but appealed against his demotion and retained his place. Scott has a  reputation for actively discouraging time-wasting, diving and dissent, which has garnered some praise from football pundits and journalists.

Assistant VAR: Dan Cook

Dan Cook first became a Football League linesman in the 2012/13 season. He has since officiated at over 140 Premier League matches.
