Who is the referee for QPR vs Sunderland?

Sunderland head down to West London to face QPR in the Championship this weekend.

Sunderland will look to build on their impressive 5-0 demolition of Southampton when they head to QPR on Saturday.

The Black Cats are now three unbeaten after their tough start to the season, with Tony Mowbray having had two weeks to work with the club's deadline day arrivals.

QPR though will fancy their chances going into this weekend; Gareth Ainsworth's men overcame Sunderland's North-East rivals Middlesbrough in their last outing, winning 2-0 at the Riverside.

Last season, the two teams drew at the Stadium of Light, with Sunderland then winning 3-0 at Loftus Road in February owing to one from Luke O'Nien, and two from Jack Clarke.

Who is the referee for this one?

The man in the middle this weekend is Dean Whitestone.

In his last 20 matches, Whitestone hasn't handed out a red card, and has awarded just two penalties.

And the last time he officiated a Sunderland game was February; a 2-1 defeat at Coventry City.

His assistants tomorrow are Daniel Leach and Lee Venamore, with Ben Toner the Fourth Official.
