Lee Mason to officiate Chelsea game

Referee Lee Mason will take charge of AFC Bournemouth's trip to Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

The official, from Lancashire, has refereed four games this season, with one of them taking place in the Premier League.

In that game at Goodison Park, Everton were 2-1 winners over Southampton and Mason issued five yellow cards in the game.

Last season, he refereed one Cherries game, and it was our trip to Stamford Bridge last season in the Carabao Cup in December.

The last time he officiated at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea were fined by the FA for surrounding Mason at half-time in a game against Huddersfield last campaign.

Referee: Lee Mason
Assistants: Matthew Wilkes, Marc Perry
Fourth official: David Coote
