The EFL have confirmed that Jarred Gillett will be the man in the middle when Derby County head to Deepdale to take on Preston North End on Wednesday in their latest behind-closed-doors fixture in the Sky Bet Championship (5pm kick-off).


Gillett, who is from Australia, has overseen 24 games during the 2019/20 season and produced a total of 84 yellow cards and two reds.

His last match in charge of Derby came on Boxing Day as Phillip Cocu's side claimed a 1-1 draw at the DW Stadium, while he also oversaw the 0-0 draw at home to Swansea City back in August.

He will be assisted by Mark Dwyer and James Mainwaring on the lines, whilst Anthony Backhouse has been appointed as the fourth official.
