The Football League have now announced the Match Day officials that will take charge of the game against Middlesbrough this midweek.

Burnley travel to Middlesbrough on Tuesday December 15 for the game at the Riverside Stadium and the match carries a 7.45pm kick off.

Referee: Geoff Eltringham
Linesmen: Shaun Hudson and Barry Gordon
Fourth Official: Nigel Miller

Match Day referee Eltringham (County Durham) is yet to officiate a Burnley game this season.

He has however already taken in nineteen other matches so far in 2015-16 and in those games, across all competitions and Football divisions, he has handed out a total of 41 yellow cards and three red cards.

He was most card happy in the match between Bolton and Birmingham on October 20 with a total of seven yellow cards shown. Earlier in the season he showed four yellows and two red in the game between Brentford and Sheffield Wednesday back in September.

Let`s hope it`s not another repeat and more of our players edge closer to automatic bans.
