Two injury-stricken sides in Brighton and Tottenham face off on the south coast in one of two Premier League fixtures on Thursday night, but who is the referee for the clash?
Looking to extend their winning run to four straight matches in the Premier League, Ange Postecoglou and his Tottenham side travel to the south coast to take on Brighton at the Amex. The Seagulls will be hoping to return to winning ways having failed to record a victory in any of their last three English top flight matches.
Australian referee Jarred Gillett has been confirmed as the man in the middle for the clash, and he’ll be supported by his assistants Darren Cann and Eddie Smart. Graham Scott has been named the fourth official, while Peter Bankes and Simon Bennett will take control of the VAR room.

Has Jarred Gillett Refereed Brighton Or Tottenham This Season?
Jarred Gillett has officiated both Brighton and Spurs once this season, taking charge of the Seagulls’ Gameweek 2 tie against Manchester United in which they ran out as comfortable 3-1 winners at Old Trafford.
The Australian’s sole match refereeing Tottenham this term came in his last game, where he took charge of their 2-0 win away at Nottingham Forest just over two weeks ago, where Yves Bissouma picked up a four match ban after being red carded for a serious foul.

Thursday night’s match will be Gillett’s ninth English top flight game of the campaign, and his fourth in December – following on from Wolves vs Burnley, Aston Villa vs Arsenal and Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham.
The 37-year-old has brandished 40 cautions thus far this term, an average of 4.24 per game, as well as two red cards – with both being straight reds rather than second bookable offences. His most recent sending off was awarded to Bissouma, as previously mentioned, with the other going to Chelsea‘s Malo Gusto against Aston Villa back in September.
Gillett has only awarded one penalty in his eight games this season, which came on Matchday 3 in favour of Manchester City against Sheffield United.
