Who is the referee for Sunderland v Rotherham United?

Sunderland host Rotherham United in the Championship tomorrow.

Sunderland host Rotherham United in the Championship tomorrow, with the Black Cats looking for a win at the Stadium of Light.

And it would be a much-needed win for Tony Mowbray's side who've so far lost their opening two Championship fixtures, as well as their opening round tie in the Carabao Cup.

Sunderland have lost 2-1 against both Ipswich Town and Preston North End, whilst Rotherham United lost against Stoke City on the opening day of the season before drawing against Blackburn Rovers.

Mowbray will view this as another tough, but still very winnable game at the Stadium of Light, but who will be the referee for this one?

The referee and match officials

As per the EFL website, tomorrow's game will be refereed by Gavin Ward.

He'll be assisted by Lee Venamore and Mark Russell, and the fourth official will be Leigh Doughty.

The last three Sunderland matches refereed by Ward have ended in draws, with the last being a 2-2 draw with Watford in April.
