Rebecca Welch is set to make history for Manchester United's Premier League clash with Fulham.
Welch, 39, will be the fourth official for Fulham's clash against the Red Devils at Craven Cottage - becoming the first ever woman referee to be involved in a Premier League game.
The promotion of Welch is also the latest example of PGMOL advancing diversity among officials.
Back in January, Bhupinder Singh Gill was the first Sikh-Punjabi to be an assistant referee in the top flight when Southampton played Nottingham Forest.
