Premier League referee to wear camera in Crystal Palace-Man Utd match

A referee will wear a video camera for the first time in a Premier League game during Monday evening's match between Crystal Palace and Manchester United.

Jarred Gillett will use a head-mounted device called a 'RefCam', although the footage will not be broadcast live.

The video will be used in a one-off programme providing insight into officiating in the Premier League.

In February, Bundesliga referee Daniel Schlager wore a camera and microphone during a 2-2 draw between Eintracht Frankfurt and Wolfsburg.

That footage was also used for a programme called 'Referees Mic'd up - Bundesliga'.
