Sam Allison will become the first black referee to officiate in the Premier League for 15 years when Sheffield United host Luton Town this afternoon.
He also becomes just the second black referee in the Premier League's history, following Uriah Rennie who last officiated a match in the top-flight back in 2008.
In 2020, Allison became the first black official in English football's top four divisions.
He was then promoted to the Championship at the start of the 2023-24 season.
His first taste of Premier League action came as a fourth official during Brighton's 4-1 victory over Chelsea in October 2022, and now he gets the chance to referee a top-flight game.
