Referee: Trevor Kettle (Rutland) |

Referee Trevor Kettle, age 48 years, took up refereeing in 1983. He worked his way up through the lower leagues until he made the national list for assistant referees (linesman as most people still know them) 15 years later. He was promoted to the national list of referees in June 2003 and is one of the longest serving referees on the Football League National panel.
Mr Kettle has not refed a Fulham game so far in his illustrious career. He last refed Watford in their 3-0 away draw at Leeds, in December 2013, yellow carding Ekstrand and one home player.
Last season he refed 32 games and dished out 111 yellows and 4 reds, 3.5 yellows per game. This season so far he has refed 13 games waving 34 yellows and no reds, 2.6 yellows per game and has become a lot more easy going all round.

Watford should welcome back in-form striker Odion Ighalo when they host Fulham.
Ighalo, who has scored 14 goals in his last 10 league games, missed Saturday's 3-2 win at Leeds as a precaution due to a tight hamstring.
Adlene Guedioura is also set to be added to the squad after the midfielder rejoined Watford on loan from Crystal Palace on Friday.
Sean Murray remains the only injury absentee for the Hornets as he recovers from knee surgery.

Fulham frontman Hugo Rodellega should return from a leg injury but midfielder Lasse Vigen Christensen is set to miss out.
Rodallega was absent from Saturday's 2-0 win over leaders Derby, during which Christensen limped off with a hamstring problem.
Rodallega's return gives manager Kit Symons a selection dilemma after his replacement, Cauley Woodrow, scored against the Rams while Matt Smith is also available after completing his successful loan spell with Bristol City.
Defender Fernando Amorebieta is back in contention after a knee injury while Symons must decide whether to rest skipper Scott Parker in the middle of three tough games in six days - Fulham host Bournemouth on Friday night.
