England vs Ukraine referee: Who are the match officials for the Euro 2024 qualifier?
England take on Ukraine at Wembley on Saturday in their second Euro 2024 qualifer. But who is the referee, and the other match officials, for the fixture?
Gareth Southgate's side are looking for their second consecutive win in their qualifying group, having defeated reigning champions Italy 2-1 in Naples on Thursday.
In a repeat of the Euro 2020 final, the Three Lions had to work hard for the victory, and played the last 10 minutes, plus stoppage time, with 10 men after Luke Shaw received two yellow cards.
Now back at Wembley, England will be looking to extend an unbeaten run at the stadium that stretches back to 2020 against a Ukraine side that have qualified for each of the last three European Championships.
