Ref watch: Probert in charge of Saints game

Lee Probert will be the man in the middle for Saturday’s fixture against fellow south coast outfit Southampton.

Mark Hughes’ side travel to Vitality Stadium for the 3pm kick-off sat 16th in the Premier League.

This season, Probert has taken charge of three top flight fixtures, including the Cherries’ 2-2 draw with Everton, where Eddie Howe’s side recovered a two-goal deficit to pick up a point.

In those three games, the 46-year-old has handed out nine yellow cards, two red cards and awarded three penalties.

He has also officiated two Championship and two League One fixtures in 2018/19.

On Saturday, Probert will be assisted by Simon Beck and Andy Garratt, with Stuart Atwell the fourth official.
