com Stadium. Whitestone, who debuted in the EFL in 2005, has officiated nearly 600 matches, including ten involving Leeds United. This season marks his first overseeing a Leeds game, though he managed three of their fixtures last campaign, notably the 1-0 victory against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
Leeds United currently sit fourth in the Championship standings. A win against Swansea City could propel them into the automatic promotion spots, contingent on other results. Swansea, positioned 11th, enter the match following a narrow 1-0 defeat to Burnley, decided by an injury-time penalty.
The EFL’s selection of Whitestone, given his extensive experience and familiarity with both teams, appears to be a prudent choice. Fans and analysts alike are hopeful for a fair and well-managed contest under his officiation.
