Ref watch: Atwell in charge on Saturday

Stuart Atwell will be the man in the middle of the Cherries’ first away fixture of the season on Saturday.

Eddie Howe’s side face West Ham United at the London Stadium, following a 2-0 victory over Cardiff on the opening day.

Atwell took charge of 14 top flight fixtures last season, handing out 48 yellow cards, one red card and awarding one penalty.

His only Cherries game of the season came away at Swansea, with the two sides playing out a 0-0 draw in November.

On Saturday, Atwell will be assisted by Harry Lennard and Neil Davies, with Kevin Friend the fourth official.
